 Certification Update
From the Desk of
Tammy Beasley, RD, CSSD, CEDRD, iaedp Certification Director
Since 1985, iaedp has recognized the need for qualified treatment providers in the field of eating disorders by offering an advanced Certification Program. It is iaedp's mission to promote excellence in competency assessment for professionals in the eating disorders field through offering a rigorous set of criteria for the evaluation of education, training, knowledge and experience. iaedp's goal is to provide professional certification that is obtainable and affordable without compromising the high level of standards necessary.
The Certification Committee is charged with maintaining the strength, integrity and reputation of the iaedp Certification. Therefore, the following new requirements and updates have been implemented to not only maintain iaedp's high standards but also clarify the instructions for all applicants and unify the certification process across all disciplines.
The primary revisions include the following:
- All Traditional certification applicants must be licensed (therapists, nurses, physicians) or registered (dietitians) as a healthcare professional by his/her state's licensing/certification board for a minimum of 2 (two) years prior to obtaining the iaedp Certification.
- No less than 75% (up to 100%) of your total supervised patient care hours must be provided by an eating disorder-experienced clinician within your same discipline who meets the iaedp Approved Supervisor requirements. Up to 25% may be supervised by an ED-experienced clinician outside of your own discipline who meets the iaedp Approved Supervisor requirements.
- No less than 75% of your total patient care hours must be accrued after licensure or registration. Up to 25% can be accrued during your internship/clinical supervised rotations prior to obtaining your license.
- Based on the recommendation of the iaedp Board and the suggestion of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics upon approval of the Phase 1 Collaboration Agreement with the Academy, the educational requirements for the CEDRD are now as follows:
MS in nutrition or health science related field from an accredited university, and 2000 supervised patient care hours of experience directly in the field of eating disorders (# of patient care hours remains the
same, of which 25% can be obtained during clinical rotations prior to registration)
OR
BS in nutrition and/or dietetics from an accredited university with the completion of the coordinated undergraduate program or a fifth year dietetic internship, and 4000 supervised patient care hours of experience directly in the field of eating disorders (# of patient care hours increased, of which 25% can be obtained during internship or clinical rotations prior to registration)
These revised forms, dated January 2014, also include more detailed, step-by-step instructions for completing your application and are mandatory for the Certification Committee review process. Please make sure you are using the most up-to-date forms prior to submitting your application(s).
If you have made plans to attend the 2014 iaedp Symposium, I am presenting on certification on Sunday, March 2, at 10:45-12:15, "Certification: Everything You Need to Know". I will discuss all of the new requirements and every step of certification in detail.
Thank you for your commitment to the high standards upon which iaedp and the certification process are founded. If you have any specific questions, please contact Tammy Beasley, Director of Certification, tammy@iaedp.com or Judy Marty, Certification Business Development Director, at judy@iaedp.com.
