The Educational department of ELCA was established in 2004 to prepare health care professionals to embrace the art and knowledge of lactation consultancy which was a fundamental value for ELCA since its foundation. The educational department vision was coming from the heart of ELCA’s vision, to provide healthcare workers with the necessary knowledge, skills and attitudes for the lactation consultancy profession together with support and enhancement of concepts as counselling, ethics, evidence based medicine, and research. From 2004 till now, ELCA courses stood the test of time with continuous evaluation auditing, improvement and innovation and extending their reach geographically and across different medical specialties and communities and society needs.
