Training, Networking, Collaboration, and Self Care at the iaedp Symposium 2013: We have two goals when we plan our symposium, outstanding, quality trainings and a venue that offers attendees a vacation-like atmosphere in which to relax, refresh, and renew!
We realize that the investment you make in attending a conference is a big hit to your budget. Choosing which conferences to attend is more than likely a difficult choice. iaedp Symposium 2013's program was created by a group of professionals like you who work in therapeutic settings with patients. It is our goal to provide a quality program that is applicable to your needs.

Check out our entire program and and review speaker bios here.
Another goal, however, has to do with your experience at the conference. We try to select locations that would provide a vacation-like experience. In addition, we offer breakfasts, lunches, a Thursday banquet, and receptions at the end of the learning days that allow you to reconnect with other attendees to relax and network. Perhaps you will share a dinner or just sit in one of the beautiful common areas of the resort and discuss the day.
But we also try to give you opportunities to nurture and refresh yourself.
SPA Moulay offers a 20% discount off of spa services for conference attendees on Mar 21, 22, 23. Call ahead and schedule a treat for yourself!

NEDA Survey Results: Professional Certification is Important to Patients and Their Families
In October and November, 2012 the National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA) sent an email to everyone in its database inviting participation in an online, confidential, consumer survey about their experiences with eating disorders and their treatment. More than 2,000 individuals voluntarily participated. NEDA received responses from those who suffer personally from eating disorders, those with family members who have been diagnosed with eating disorders and family members who have lost a loved one as a result of an eating disorder.
The majority of all three groups wanted their clinicians to have years of eating disorder experience, the ability to deal with multiple psychological conditions, and certification in eating disorders.
Read a summary of all findings here.
