Eating disorders toolkit
We’d like to share with you a new resource from Adolescent Medicine’s Eating Disorder Program. This pediatric eating disorder toolkit is designed to support Medical Providers, Registered Dietitians, and Mental Health Providers working with patients experiencing eating disorders, especially in areas with limited access to specialized care. While it is not a comprehensive treatment guide, the toolkit aims to highlight essential areas for assessment and follow-up care, ensuring that patients and families receive necessary support until specialized treatment becomes available.
This resource provides guidance on assessing disordered eating in your patients, determining the appropriate level of care, and connecting patients to the right resources. It aims to help providers navigate these critical steps effectively, ensuring that individuals receive the support they need.

Via Epic - external referral to CHW Adolescent Medicine Clinics or fax to Central Scheduling
