30th Annual International Meeting of ABM and Leadership Academy by ABM (Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine) just OPENED

Hi guys

Tuk para konselor laktasi yang haus ilmu dan pengin belajar serius, ABM buka kursus yang dimau. Gak kaleng-kaleng jadwal zoom rutin hampir 10 bulan dari Oktober 2025 sampai Juni 2026 dimana jam nya di waktu Indonesia seperti jadwal tahajud, jam 3-4 dini hari. Siaran langsung zoom, syarat harus ikut rutin min 80 persen selama sesi zoom, bisa ikut 7 sesi dari 9 sesi minimalnya dan....BAYAR. Yes. Kita masuk kategori 3 bayar 450 dolar (hampir 7,5jt kalau dolar sebijinya 16.500-an).

Tuk yang belum tau apa itu ABM. Tiap tahun ABM ini selalu ada bikin konferensi dan khusus. Contoh dari Indonesia yang pernah ikutan langsung ke UK. Kebetulan tahun 2024 lalu di Amerika dan rencana tahun 2025 ini dilaksanakan VIRTUAL alias online karena pertimbangan situasi keamanan dunia. Kalau pengin ikutan bisa banget besok 14-16 November 2025. Harga nya dalam dolar lagi 275 USD (4.537juta-an) dan kalau daftar berkelompok minimal 5 orang bisa dapat diskon 5 persen berkurang 13.75 dolar (226ribu). Mayan ya mak, wkwkw. Eit, belum kelar, kalau mau masuk jadi member ABM bayarnya 65 USD rutin tiap tahun mak. 

Dapat apa aja wak selain ilmu. Tentu para pencari SKP ala Kemenkes kalau di IBCLC disebut para pecnari CERP alias skp per-laktasian. Aku kebetulan ikut ABM ke-29 di 2024, ada 69 pembicara, total kita dapat 21 L-CERP, 2 R-CERP, dan 0.5 E-CERP yang bisa tuk poin misal mau perpanjangan IBCLC pakai CERP. Boleh juga dipakai sebagai syarat CERP mau daftar IBCLC.
