Eating Disorders Diagnosis and Treatment
You'll be able to recognize eating disorder presentations, assess medical risk, and select an evidence-based treatment and level of care.
What this track covers
This track covers anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge eating disorder across recognition, medical risk assessment, and treatment planning. It emphasizes distinguishing disorder subtypes, identifying medical complications that change management, and coordinating therapy and monitoring across a care team.
What you will practice
- Differentiate anorexia, bulimia, and binge eating disorder using DSM-5 criteria
- Screen for eating disorder warning signs in routine visits
- Identify medical complications that warrant a higher level of care
- Compare therapy modalities used for different eating disorder presentations
- Plan ongoing medical monitoring during outpatient treatment
Simulator scenario
A simulated primary care visit with an adolescent patient showing subtle signs of restrictive eating, requiring the clinician to screen, assess medical stability, and decide on next steps.
Board question topics
- DSM-5 criteria across eating disorder subtypes

- Level of care decision-making
- Evidence-based therapy selection
