“…Our interns simulated the “visits” at hospitals, outpatient clinics, and in-home telehealth via Zoom TM meetings. Each clinical scenario was created using the Simulation Design Template created by the National League for Nursing ( Alexander et al, 2015 ; Childs et al, 2007 ; National League of Nursing Simulation Innovation Resource Center, 2019 ). The SBE’s utilized Kolb’s (1984) four learning styles: concrete experience (role-play and manual tasks using the simulation kit); reflective observation (weekly self-reflection assignment); abstract conceptualization (using learned concepts from previous weeks); and active experimentation (final proficiency assessment test).…”

Virtual Lactation Education in a Pandemic

In March of 2020, most of the United States received "stay at home" orders to decrease the transmission rates of COVID-19. All sectors of life were affected, including lactation education and lactation resources. Many private practice International Board Certified Lactation Consultants (IBCLC) had to pivot their practices to provide telehealth only. The pandemic forced facilities to restrict or deny a student's access to onsite clinical preceptors. Lactation interns were no longer able to complete their clinical hours. In the short term, this prevented interns from graduating, taking the International Board of Lactation Consultant Examiners (IBLCE) exam, and pursuing employment opportunities. The long-term implications are a diminished lactation workforce and reduced access to care for breastfeeding families. This article describes how one West Coast university developed a low-cost virtual simulation program to continue the clinical lactation education of its interns.
