A Chance to Heal provides specialized continuing medical education for healthcare professionals. Medical board members Roz Kaplan, MD, David Steinman, MD, Molly Kellogg, RD, LCSW and Jane Shure, LCSW, PhD teach the curriculum: "Medical Complications of Eating Disorders".
Few healthcare providers realize that restrictive eating is almost always a precursor to disordered eating. Our medical board has made the education of medical practitioners their main focus for the year and is highly committed to training practitioners on the prevention and treatment of eating disorders. To schedule a session for a school, hospital, medical organization or office, contact us at 215 855-2420 or email us.
In addition, A Chance to Heal has created a special section of our web site for Healthcare Providers to obtain information on eating disorders (including CME Credit).
WHAT does the training provide? Comprehensive information on eating disorder signs and symptoms, tools to prevent eating disorders, referral information, and tips for screening patients
WHO should attend? Physicians, Nurses, Medical Students, Nursing Students, Nutritionists, Dentists, Alterative Medical Providers, and more
WHY should our hospital or healthcare center participate?
