Legal, Ethical, or Moral: What Matters Most for Lactation Clinicians? Does Patient-Centered Care Ever Put the Caregiver at Risk?

Tracks: Clinical Skills (Ethical and Legal Issues)

Imagine a lactation care plan that is perfectly legal...but inconsistent with your moral compass. How do you navigate this tension? This session offers down-to-earth explanations of legal, ethical, and moral duties to the patient/client. We will explore examples from the International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) literature, delve a bit deeper in a few "hot topics" that present the most common “potholes” for practitioners, and ponder realistic hypothetical stories that put the learning into practice.

Learning Objectives: 

  • Name one document for a clinical practice guidance that is: (1) mandatory, (2) voluntary,  and (3) a public health directive that is voluntary unless made into law.
  • Define the difference between an ethics obligation, and a legal obligation, in clinical practice.
  • Explain how gifts and samples from commercial entities, to health care providers and community workers, can change professional clinical behavior.
