Worried about the picture items on the IBLCE exam? We can help.

Seventy-five items on the IBLCE exam require you to recognize conditions shown in photos. That’s 38% of the exam! Historically, candidates who don’t do well on the text-only test items do even worse on the photo items.

Sure, you can memorize photos in a book. But few, if any, of the photos in a book are likely to be on the exam. So take a 1-day seminar that will help you recognize and interpret conditions shown in photos. You’ll get a chance to see dozens of clinical photos, and to ask questions about them. Better still, you’ll get lots of help to learn the right answers, the wrong answers, and how to avoid mistakes.

Ad Council Breastfeeding Awareness Ads
"While many Americans know that the best form of nutrition for babies is breastmilk, our nation has one of the lowest breastfeeding rates in the developed world. Recent studies show that babies who are breastfed are less likely to develop ear infections, respiratory illness, and diarrhea. That is why the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and Ad Council have teamed up to develop a national breastfeeding awareness campaign. All of the ads drive home the message: "Babies were born to be breastfed." ~ The Ad Council's website
