This certified lactation educator reference check form is designed for hospitals, clinics, and healthcare hiring teams that need reliable feedback before moving a candidate forward. It gives references a clear way to confirm their role, relationship to the candidate, and the context in which they worked together.
The template focuses on the skills that matter most in lactation education roles. It includes targeted rating questions on breastfeeding physiology, latch techniques, feeding positions, troubleshooting common breastfeeding challenges, and teaching patients how to use breast pumps, so reviewers can assess both technical knowledge and day-to-day patient support ability.
Because the form uses a consistent structure, hiring teams can compare candidates more fairly and spot strengths or concerns faster. It is also easy to adapt for internal credentialing, rehiring, or role-specific evaluations where communication, compassion, and practical lactation support experience need to be documented clearly.
