The ADA's recent Promotion of Breastfeeding Position Statement has clearly made breastfeeding promotion and support a priority for dietitians. Research on the breastfeeding knowledge of health professionals, including dietitians, nurses and physicians, demonstrates that many do not have the information they need to accomplish this goal. Thus, it is critical to find ways to provide clinically relevant information to people in a wide variety of practice and educational settings, in an efficient and economical format. Computer based technology is one way to provide didactic and clinical training. Computer technology allows for interactive learning, and can provide clinical simulations using movies, graphics, and animations as well as text. Immediate feedback to the viewer can be provided. These features can provide a clinical component to lactation education that is not available in traditional teaching methodologies. Even without a live mother-baby couple, viewers can develop beginning clinical breastfeeding assessment skills. The authors will discuss the status of computer technology based education. Methods of implementing computer technology into training activities across disciplines and work sites will be discussed. A demonstration of self-study modules developed by the authors for teaching breastfeeding basics to health professionals across disciplines and training levels will be provided. These modules have been favorably reviewed by both students and professionals.
