Back by Popular Demand: Precertification Courses Offered at iaedp 2015 Symposium

PEKIN, Ill., Oct. 16, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- The International Association of Eating Disorders Professionals (iaedp™) announces the return of precertification courses for professionals at its annual symposium on March 19-23, 2015 at the Pointe Hilton Tapatio Cliffs Resort in Phoenix. For experienced eating disorders professionals who qualify, these programs are a pathway to the certification process.  The programs also offer professionals new to the field or who do not specialize in eating disorders an opportunity for training that offers a comprehensive overview of the diseases and current treatment approaches. 

Prior to the start of the Symposium, each three-hour class is presented by respected eating disorder professionals who serve on iaedp's Advisory Board. "The precertification courses are very popular, so we continue to offer them, providing professionals first-hand instruction in eating disorders treatment," said Bonnie Harken, Managing Director at The iaedp Foundation. "A professional's time is valuable, which is why we developed a two-day live format for presenting the classes at our annual symposium." 

All other prerequisites for certification regarding education, experience, supervision and successful completion of a written examination apply.  The precertification course is offered as a separate track for $200 or combined with a 2015 Symposium registration for an additional $100.  For more information, go to: www.iaedp.com.
