“You Won’t Need To Know Eating Disorders” – And Other Myths Learned During Formal Education

Jessica Setnick, MS, RD, CEDRD-S

Dietitians, therapists, and medical providers don’t get much education or training about eating disorders.  We are led to believe that if we don’t specialize in the area of eating disorders, we don’t need to know much because we aren’t seeing them. 

 

You’ve heard previous guests talk about the importance of asking the simple questions about eating as we conceptualize the plan and goals.

 

Jessica talks about helping people with nutrition by not putting humans into diagnostic boxes, and by recognizing eating behaviors that range from Positive and Supportive to Harmful or Destructive.

 

“The best gift of CEDS Certification is requiring supervision, the gift that keeps on giving” but supervision is not just for CEDS Certification, CPEUs (continuing education) are available for RDs who are in supervision for professional development.

 

Jessica’s journal article & findings: A survey of registered dietitian nutritionists who provide care to clients with eating disorders: implications for education, training, and clinical practice. 

 

Jessica will be presenting with Mary Beth Kavanagh this fall at FNCE on the topic of Eating Disorders and COVID-19. More information can be found here.
