How do I earn continuing education credits on BFConsortium.org?
Credits are earned with section completion for the Breastfeeding Training Course and the MOC Knowledge Self-Assessment Course. When you complete a section within those courses, you will be asked to complete a short survey. When the survey has been completed, you can download and print your certificate, pre-populated with the amount of credit offered for that section.
For the Breastfeeding Refresher Course, you will need to complete all exercises contained within that course and the short course survey in order to access your certificate.
