The iaedp ™ Institute is now open offering:

General Information

The iaedp™ Core Curriculum is designed to accomplish two goals:
1) to endow the candidate with advanced, practical, graduate-level knowledge considered essential to eating disorder expertise; and
2) to prepare the candidate to successfully pass the iaedp™ Certification Examination. Candidates for the CEDS must satisfactorily complete all four Core Courses. Candidates for the CEDS-RD, because of their existing advanced training and experience with nutrition and dietetics, must satisfactorily complete Courses 1, 2, and 3 only.
 
Each Core Course involves purchase of one or more textbooks, and oftentimes additional readings and videos of professional presentations made available through iaedp™. The candidate follows a detailed syllabus for each Core Course, completing the required readings and/or videos, and writing various essays to demonstrate in-depth application of key concepts. Once the candidate has completed the above, s/he will take an online final exam for each Core Course, and must pass each exam with a grade of 75% or higher. Exams contain 40-50 multiple choice and true/false questions, some testing knowledge acquisition and others testing knowledge application.

Course 1 - Introduction to Eating Disorders
Course 2 - Treatment Modalities for Eating Disorders
Course 3 - Nutritional Aspects of Eating Disorders
Course 4 - Medical Aspects of Eating Disorders

The cost of each course is $100 for iaedp™ members and $125 for non members.  Completion of these four courses is a requisite as one requirement in the process of becoming certified. Note:  These are self study courses which can only be completed through an online process including credit card payment, testing, and document submittal.  We will not be able to accept faxed documents, mailed documents, etc.  No exceptions to this policy.
