Lactation Conferences in Florida



2012 - Lactation Conferences in Florida
January 7, 2012 - Miami, FL
Physician's Summit - FREE Educational Offering
In face of the rising obesity issue and increase in infants fed sub optimally, Miami-Dade County Hospitals, The Miami-Dade County Health Department, The South Florida Hospital and Healthcare Association, The Foundation For Breastfeeding and the Consortium for a Healthier Miami-Dade along with the best physicians identified as leaders will convene a summit to address obesity in the youngest residents. The impetus for this Summit, the first of its kind in Miami-Dade County, is the fact that many physicians who
specialize in obstetrics and pediatrics lack the expertise to give patients the tools they need to make life-altering decisions about their infants feeding.

The Florida AHEC Network designates this Live activity for a maximum of 3.5 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ . Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate
with the extent of their participation in the activity.
