The goal of the Physician Engagement and Training focused on Infant Nutrition project is to engage medical provider organizations and relevant stakeholders to:
1. Implement recommendations on strategies to engage medical practitioners to improve the continuity of infant feeding-related care from the prenatal period through early childhood and 2. Increase availability and accessibility of medical practitioner education curriculum resources that incorporates the most recent evidence-based infant feeding knowledge and clinical skills to support the mother, child, and family in meeting their breastfeeding goals. |
Physician Education and Training on Breastfeeding Action Plan
The AAP developed a comprehensive action plan that includes recommendations for addressing: 1. Gaps in breastfeeding training and education for physicians, with special emphasis on underserved populations. 2. Training to support the safe implementation of evidence-based maternity practices supportive of breastfeeding. Culture Plan Development The constellation participants developed a plan to create a culture of support for breastfeeding within the medical community, emphasizing support for breastfeeding medical practitioners at all levels of training as a part of medical practitioner wellness. Model Policy Implementation Learning Collaboratives The AAP and AAFP facilitated and supported processes to identify medical schools, residency and fellowship programs, clinics, hospitals, and healthcare systems that implemented AAFP’s Breastfeeding and Lactation Policy for Medical Trainees within their institution as appropriate for their setting and resources. A manuscript and summary of findings report will be developed during the 2022-2023 grant period. |
