Eating Disorder Foundations Pathway
Pathway Overview
Before effective intervention comes understanding. Our foundational eating-disorders 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
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 MED-DBT training.
Together, these pathways reflect the ethos of EDTI:
