Schedule

(Please note schedule change)

11:45 a.m.	Registration and lunch

12:15 a.m.	Welcome and announcements

	Focused care
12:30 p.m.	Children age 13 and under
	Children age 13 and under are more at risk for eating disorders than ever before. Experience has taught us the importance of incorporating families into treatment for children and adolescents. Family focused care allows for addressing how eating disorders affect the entire family. This session will provide a detailed discussion of a family-based treatment model.

1:15 p.m.	Evidence-based treatment tracks
	Forming and maintaining a treatment alliance is difficult when severe nutritional deficiencies, emotional dysfunction and motivational challenges can threaten to disrupt this process. During this session we will discuss cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) and family-based therapy. We will describe selection criteria and treatment approaches across levels of care. We will discuss the use of medical checklists by the multidisciplinary team to improve communication and treatment outcomes.

2 p.m.	Athletes and eating disorders
	When the pressures of athletic competition are added to an existing cultural emphasis on thinness, the risks increase for athletes to develop disordered eating. This session will highlight assessment and treatment programs for athletes at all levels of competition, including input from an exercise physiologist and physical therapist.

2:30 p.m.	Adults older than age 30
	Today, up to 40 percent of eating disorders patients are adults older than age 30, a dramatic shift from less than 10 percent a decade ago. Nearly 95 percent are female. Some have struggled with eating disorders in the past; for others, the struggle is new. We will highlight the unique challenges for this population with targeted treatment to meet their individual needs.

3:00 p.m.	Break

3:15 p.m.	Bariatric surgery
	For many, the choice to have bariatric surgery can start a journey toward a healthier life. Unfortunately for others, the struggle to achieve healthy eating behaviors continues long after their surgery. We will discuss treatment of this post-surgery population who present with eating disorders.

3:45 p.m.	Eating disorders and diabetes
	Eating disorders paired with diabetes can be a life-threatening combination. Diabetes researchers estimate people who have type 1 diabetes (formerly "juvenile-onset diabetes") have twice the risk of developing an eating disorder. We will review and discuss treatment options and work done by an international consensus conference team on dual diagnosis.


4:15 p.m.	Grassroots efforts and innovations in care
	This session will provide an insider’s view of innovation and change within an organization and the process of involving payers as partners, while assuring quality care with fair reimbursement rates.

5 p.m.	Adjourn. Shuttle back to Hilton Downtown
