Not Just a Phase: Eating Disorders in Children and Adolescents

Join us for a continuing education event hosted by Accanto Health and presented by Anna B. Tanner, MD, FAAP, FSAHM, CEDS-S. There is no fee to attend this course.

Most providers in the field of eating disorders are familiar with the medical complications of these illnesses in older adolescents and adults. However, children and young adolescents are increasingly affected by eating disorders and have unique medical complications that may be harder to detect, often set in the context of growth and development. In addition, some of these complications are irreversible if not detected early and...Read more treated aggressively. Providers treating young patients, especially those with restrictive eating disorders, should become familiar with the detection and management of these issues.
