Abstract | Accessible lactation support for breastfeeding parents, even in well-resourced areas, is often insufficient. At the same time, opportunities for real-life, sustainable interprofessional learning experiences for health professions students are scarce. Delivery of lactation support via telehealth allows for greater accessibility for both consumers and students. This study describes the development of an interprofessionally-facilitated telehealth breastfeeding support group, a partnership between a health professions graduate school and a teaching hospital in Boston, MA. Program conceptualization, theoretical basis, and development are reviewed. Occupational therapy and nursing students were involved in the group at various points of entry and with different degrees of engagement. Students developed skills in group facilitation, lactation support, and program evaluation. The group had consistent participation, ranging from 2 to more than 10 participants per session, serving parents across urban and rural areas. The group format and development could be replicated to provide needs for local communities of parents and interprofessional students. |
