Course Description

Eating disorders continue to be overlooked in many clinical environments, resulting in missed opportunities for early care and coordination of treatment. This eating disorder training for healthcare professionals is designed to strengthen the knowledge and competencies needed to recognize typical and atypical presentations of anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder, and related conditions, with dedicated focus on the oral and dental signs of purging behaviors that nurses, physicians, dentists, pharmacists, and psychologists may encounter first. The course presents current statistics and the medical and psychosocial implications of these illnesses so the healthcare team can identify risk sooner and respond with confidence. Detailed strategies for interprofessional communication and collaboration prepare participants to counsel patients, support appropriate referral, and contribute to safe, evidence-based treatment planning during ongoing care.
