This interprofessional certificate program trains students in team-based care for eating disorders and is considered best practice in healthcare education.

What You'll Learn and Do

Receive a foundational understanding of the interprofessional assessment and treatment of eating disorders.

Courses as part of this certificate/ concentration will cover etiology, assessment/level of care, best practices in interprofessional teaming, specialized treatment opportunities, prevention, and simulation. The coursework is intended to provide a substantive overview of foundational aspects of assessment, level of care determination, treatment planning, and using team-based care.

Experience hands-on opportunities.

Through simulations, students will work as a team with a simulated client/patient with eating disordered symptomology to evaluate and determine best aspects of assessments and treatment planning.
