This two-week elective will provide the student with an opportunity to review the literature and participate in the clinical care of patients with disordered eating and eating disorders. Students will attend clinic 3 times weekly with Drs. Cabral and Gibson at the Oakland Drive campus and accompany faculty if there are inpatient consults. While on the rotation, students will be tasked to contribute to patient and parent education materials or develop eating disorder prevention materials that could be presented at the community level. In the past, we have had opportunity to present to elementary and middle school classes, but uncertain whether this will be available to students as we establish "new normals" post pandemic. We are also happy to explore opportunity for students to spend time with eating disorder professionals in the community to get a broader sense of the roles, responsibilities, teamwork and communication required to effectively care for this patient population within interprofessional teams.
