Name: Amy Evans, MD, FABM, FAAP Position: Associate Clinical Professor of Pediatrics, UCSF-Fresno Medical Director, Center for Breastfeeding Medicine and Mother s Resource Center Past/Current Roles in ABM: Co-Chair, Membership Committee (2006-2009) Chair, ABM s 15 th Annual International Meeting (San Francisco, CA 2010) ABM Conference Committee WEPNTK presenter Workshop presenter Wrote and revised ABM Clinical Protocol #2 ( Going Home Protocol ) Major Needs of ABM in the Next 3 Years/Comment: With breastfeeding becoming increasingly emphasized, I see the need to expand our fellowship program to enhance doctor training and promote wider recognition of our protocols, all to give more authority to ABM. This will facilitate growth and help ABM attain its proper place as THE physician organization for information regarding breastfeeding. I do primary care with a local California group and mentor to new doctors in our field. I lecture extensively locally and all over the United States, and also conduct clinical research and have been published.
