AED Update
September 2005

Scott Crow, MD, FAED
AED President

Many exciting things are going on in the Academy right now, and I would like to call your attention to several of those. 

First, the Athlete Special Interest Group is once again holding a Special Interest Group one-day conference titled "Identification and Treatment of the Female Athlete Triad:  Disordered Eating, Amenorrhea, Osteoporosis and Related Issues."  This conference will be held on October 7, 2005, in Indianapolis, Indiana, USA.  The Athlete SIG has held previous one-day conferences that have been highly successful and I am sure this one will be, too. 

The Bariatric Surgery and Medical Care Special Interest Groups are holding a Teaching Day on November 9, 2005, in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, USA, titled "Learning How to See Success: Cutting Edge Essentials in the Management of Eating Disorders and Bariatric Surgery Recovery."

The Academy is also endorsing a conference organized by the University Hospital of Bellvitge and the University of Barcelona, which is being held in Barcelona, Spain on November 25, 2005.  This exciting conference is titled "V Seminario Internacional sobre Trastornos de la Alimentacion:  Tratamientos basados en la evidencia."  This promises to be an outstanding event.

Finally, the Nominations Committee has been accepting nominations for President-Elect, Secretary and Board Members.  Nominations closed on September 1, 2005.  We appreciate your nominations and will keep you posted on the nominating committee's progress.
