IAEDP Certification: Everything You Need To Know by Tammy Beasley, RDN, CEDRD, CSSD,
Director of Certification
As the rate of individuals affected by eating disorders continues to grow, a greater need for qualified treatment providers in the field exists. iaedp has recognized that need by offering an advanced Certification Program, established in 2002 and continually strengthened and updated to maintain its strong reputation in the mental health field. 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. Two routes of certification exist for all three designations: Certified Eating Disorder Specialist (CEDS), Certified Eating Disorder Registered Dietitian (CEDRD) and Certified Eating Disorder Registered Nurse (CEDRN). The Traditional Certification requires 2000+ supervised direct patient care hours, completion of four Core Courses and passage of the iaedp Certification exam, among other requirements. The Equivalency Certification is available for professionals who have been practicing in the field of eating disorders as a licensed or registered clinician for five or more years and have already demonstrated expertise and significant contributions to the advancement of this field. iaedp believes that professional certification as an eating disorders professional within your clinical discipline provides a multitude of professional and personal benefits to you, your clients and your community. Please join Tammy Beasley, RDN, CEDRD, CSSD, Director of Certification, to hear about certification benefits and discuss the steps required for both Traditional and Equivalency Certification so you are ready to begin the process towards becoming an iaedp Certified Specialist in Eating Disorders.  | Tammy Beasley
