Eating Disorder Foundations Pathway: Training for Health Care Professionals
Pathway Overview
Before effective intervention comes understanding. Our foundational eating disorder training helps clinicians, educators, and health professionals grasp the full picture - how neurobiology, temperament, trauma, and sociocultural forces interact to shape eating disorder presentations. Drawing from decades of clinical and academic experience, we offer live and customized workshops and on demand courses on early detection, assessment, engagement, and evidence based treatment planning. Participants learn to integrate weight-inclusive, trauma-responsive, and anti-stigma principles into real-world practice.

Foundational Pathways Into MED-DBT Training
Both the Eating Disorders Foundations Pathway and the DBT & Personality Pathway form the foundation for Learning MED-DBT, where the two streams converge.
Each pathway can be completed independently for CE credit, or sequentially for those pursuing comprehensive eating disorder training for clinicians.
Together, these training pathways reflect the core clinical ethos of The Eating Disorder Training Institute (EDTI):
Distinct disciplines.
