Multidisciplinary Interventions for the Medical Complications of Starvation: A Case Study Review

About This Event

Valley Federation of Eating Disorder Professionals (VFED) has opened up their monthly Table Talk to professionals across the country to join virtually for a special complimentary CE/CME/CNE educational presentation by Dr. Dennis Gibson.  

Eating disorders are complex mental health illnesses with myriad medical complications. Given this overlap between mental health and medical complications, as well as the importance of weight restoration as the initial medicine, multidisciplinary teams composed of individuals knowledgeable in eating disorder are critical when caring for this population. This presentation will describe many of the common medical complications associated with eating disorders through the presentation of several case studies. It will also highlight the unique, yet overlapping, skills required by practitioners for successful weight restoration of individuals with eating disorders. 

The target audience for this continuing education program is mental health providers and clinicians working with individuals with eating disorders and other mental health diagnoses, hospital physicians, nurses who have eating disorder experience. Materials are appropriate for learners with an introductory level of understanding about eating disorders and their treatment.
