Call for Proposals

We are seeking abstracts on inventive treatment modalities for the numerous phases of the eating disordered client's journey-- from denial and resistance to treatment and, ultimately, recovery. The spectrum ranging from disordered eating to life threatening medical complications requires skill and creativity. Treatment providers from all disciplines are challenged to creatively convert ongoing research, brain imaging, and treatment updates into meaningful ED treatment protocols. We are seeking submittals on individual, group, and family work which help clinicians in all treatment settings. Please include an experiential or interactive component in your presentation. Preference will be given to unique presentations offered for the first time.

All abstracts must be submitted online. The call will close at midnight on August 18, 2012.  Please read the full call, details on submissions, and submit your abstract online here.  If you wish to bookmark the abstract site, it is here.

You deserve to be recognized and validated as a highly experienced clinician and iaedp is committed to helping our members! The Board of Directors and Awards Committee created the Fellow of iaedp (F.iaedp), a new category of elevated membership status available to highly committed and accomplished professionals.

(Please note some changes in requirements from those previous published.)

For consideration for elevated membership status as a Fellow of iaedp, candidates' collective contributions over time will be evaluated. Guidelines identify but are not exclusive to iaedp members of 7 continuous years or more who have been in practice for a minimum of 12 years, are preferably Certified Eating Disorder Specialists and have demonstrated accomplishment and participation in the field through activities such as teaching, presentations, training, research, writing and innovative community projects. Each honoree will receive a special certificate of recognition and Fellow Members may include "F. iaedp" with his or her credentials. Award nominations and Fellow of iaedp applications are encouraged from members through forms provided online.

There is a $50 application fee, a $200 one time fee upon approval, and a $25 annual records maintenance fee. Each recipient must maintain an iaedp membership along with their fellow status. A beautiful framed and engraved certificate will be awarded during the induction year and a printed certificate will be provided each successive year.

iaedp Creates the Christine Hartline Symposium Scholarship

Each year the iaedp Board of Directors will select someone who will be able to attend the conference on a scholarship in Christine's name.  For the past few years iaedp has offered financial aid scholarships to qualified first time attendees or iaedp members who need help with fees during a time of financial hardship.  These recipients receive a greatly reduced conference registration fee.  The new Christine Hartline Symposium Scholarship will be awarded to cover all registration fees for one qualified recipient. You may donate here.
