Earn L-CERPs and R-CERPs with Speech Therapy PD
Looking for continuing education that supports your work in lactation and infant feeding while helping you meet your IBCLC recertification requirements? We're excited to offer CERP-approved courses that bring together professionals who share your commitment to supporting infants and families.
From breastfeeding and infant feeding evaluations to NICU care and interdisciplinary collaboration, our courses cover topics that connect directly to the work you do every day. And with our Interprofessional Lactation Conference coming up in December, we're continuing to expand our learning opportunities for lactation professionals.
Are you an SLP? These courses also offer ASHA CEUs, so you can explore topics related to lactation and infant feeding while working toward your own certification and licensure requirements.
What Are L-CERPs and R-CERPs?
If you're an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), you're probably already familiar with Continuing Education Recognition Points (CERPs). But if you're newer to lactation education, here's a quick breakdown.
L-CERPs (Lactation CERPs) focus on education specifically related to human lactation and breastfeeding.
R-CERPs (Related CERPs) cover topics that support the broader practice of lactation consulting, including clinical skills, professional collaboration, and related areas of healthcare.
Both can count toward IBCLC recertification, making CERP-approved courses an important part of your ongoing professional development.
