Follow-Up to IBLCE  "Scope of Practice" 

ILCA has notified members of the next step in review of the Scope of Practice published by IBLCE. Quote from ILCA membership notice: "IBLCE removed the document from their website on November 6th to permit review of that document in light of the numerous issues raised about the contents."

The ILCA Board of Directors issued a Statement regarding the "significant substantive and reasonable objections that have been raised about the Scope’s current wording."

BOD members attended key group meetings and had the first USLCA meeting of members for which over 50 USLCA members attended. On September 14, 2006 the USLCA BOD conducted a conference call to review our progress. From member input the BOD has agreed that in 2007 our major focus will be Licensure and Reimbursement issues. The BOD will have another telephone conference call in October to work on goals related to this.
