What all is needed to run a Lactation Consultant Private Practice?
I've just started entertaining the thought of having my own practice. However, I'm not sure what all I would need to get myself going. Do I need an office, or can I run it out of my home? Should I only do home visits, or should I set up a home office and allow clients to come to me? Do I need malpractice insurance? How would I chart? #Privatepractice #LactationConsultant #Businessowner

How great is the need for Certified Lactation Consultants?
Locally-Louisville, KY. Most jobs that I see are for RN IBCLC's in a hospital setting. I am an LPN and I do not want to work in a hospital setting. How great is the need for IBCLC's in private practices or places such a WIC clinics? #Breastfeeding #Lactationconsultant #IBCLC #medicine #healthcare #hospital-and-healthcare
