A valuable course, reference, and resource for nutrition professionals who counsel patients with disordered eating!

This comprehensive and evidence-based course includes a concise pocket-sized reference that healthcare professionals can tailor to their practice.

This course is based on the required reading which is designed for registered dietitian nutritionists (RDN) and other health care providers to support working in the complex field of eating disorders. This course blends clinical insight with practical tools, offering a goldmine of succinct, evidence-based information that is both accessible and immediately applicable in practice.

Topics addressed include the role of the RDN, eating disorder types and origins, nutrition assessment and diagnosis as well as nutrition interventions for education, counseling and coordinated care. Organized based on the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics Nutrition Care Process, this guide provides assessment and intervention tools, sample PES statements, and guidance for monitoring and evaluating patients with eating disorders. Clinicians and educators can utilize this resource for in depth exploration of the psychological, behavioral and physiological underpinnings of clients across the spectrum of eating disorders. The inclusion of clinical tables for bloodwork interpretation, nutrient deficiency, and physical findings make this an invaluable reference.

Guidance on the RDN’s scope of practice is also discussed. Pharmacotherapy and nutrition support information, nutrition education topics, and advice on coordination of care are addressed. The required reading covers care for both inpatient and outpatient settings.

The course uses a case-study based format to assess the reader’s knowledge and understanding of the content and their ability to apply it to clinical practice.

This course is appropriate for registered dietitian nutritionists (RDNs) and other health professionals working with clients/patients with eating disorders.
