FOUNDATIONS OF EATING DISORDER TREATMENT
Virtual CE/CME Courses
EDCI is proud to present our new educational series to assist medical providers, dietitians and mental health providers to increase identification of disordered eating concerns as well as strengthen the proficiency in treating eating disorders. Below you will find courses that collectively provide a comprehensive overview of eating disorders and tangible options for working with this unique population.
​
Feel free to select any course which feels relevant to your needs or interests. For those new to working with eating disorders, we highly recommend completing the first four courses. We also encourage all participants to consider starting with Course 1: "Weight and Health" for a foundational understanding of the underlying forces that often lead to eating disorders development and maintenance. Courses may be purchased individually or in select packages. ​
