Developing an eating disorder curriculum for primary care providers

As the number of eating disorder cases rises, primary care providers are increasingly called upon to diagnose and treat eating disorder patients. Unfortunately, few primary care providers have the necessary experience and training to adequately treat these patients. The Eating Disorder Curriculum for Primary Care Providers has been specifically designed to addresses this lack of training and improve the rate of early detection. This is accomplished through basic didactic sessions and individualized instruction on the specifics of manualized treatment in the primary care setting.
