Breastfeeding Residency Curriculum
Breastfeeding Promotion in Physicians'™ Office Practices (BPPOP III) was a 4-year,
national, grant-funded program, coordinated by the American Academy of Pediatrics
in partnership with the Health Resources and Services Administration'™s Maternal
and Child Health Bureau. (One of the program initiatives of BPPOP III is residency
education and curriculum development. A multi-specialty team of experts in graduate
medical education and breastfeeding developed this curriculum. The curriculum was
pilot-tested at 14 residency programs across the country before 2008.)
