Accreditation
CMEs: The AAFP has reviewed Clinician Series: What’s New in 2024-2025 and deemed it acceptable for up to 1.00 Enduring Materials, Self-Study AAFP Prescribed credits. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.
CERPs: According to the International Board of Lactation Consultant Examiners® (IBLCE®) Individual CERPs Guide for Recertification Section I:
- • A CERP is a continuing educational credit unit assigned to 60 units of education that meets the professional educational needs of practicing IBCLC. IABLE’s educational programming with its CME accreditation are appropriate for each or all the following types of CERPs. We list the category and type of CERP on each certificate.
- o Education that is specifically about human lactation and breastfeeding is recognised with L-CERPs (L=Lactation).
- o Education about professional ethics and conduct is recognised with E-CERPs (E=Ethics).
- o Education that is related to the practice of IBCLCs, but is neither lactation nor ethics specific, is recognised with R-CERPs (R=Related).
The initial IBCLC certification application does not accept CERPs, and all educational credits awarded to IABLE courses can be used for required lactation education hours for initial IBCLC certification.
Nursing Credits: All state boards for nursing licensure approve of educational offerings that are approved by the American Nursing Credentialling Center (ANCC)
According to ANCC Certification, the continuing education hours approved by the AAFP and AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ meet the requirement of formally approved continuing education hours and may be used as such for ANCC Certification renewal. https://www.nursingworld.org/certification/faqs/
