Through this CME, physicians will gain knowledge regarding historical barriers to breastfeeding and addressing their own implicit biases. Ultimately, pediatricians will be engaged and motivated to improve the lactation experience for all, including African Americans. They will obtain concrete steps to change the culture of their office and institution, ultimately improving the experience and support of their patients including Black/African-American families.
