Specialist Supportive Clinical Management for Anorexia Nervosa

Following the didactic course, our course presenter will host a 12-sesion SSCM Learning Collaborative (meeting every other week for 6 months). Learning Collaborative participants will have the opportunity to receive consultation on ongoing clinical cases (i.e. patients who are receiving SSCM) and to ask questions of the presenters and other attendees. To deepen their learning, Learning Collaborative participants will submit brief consultation reports to the Learning Collaborative team, including an update on therapy adherence, patient progress, and future treatment plan. The Learning Collaborative is a special opportunity for licensed professionals from any country who have a clear plan for putting SSCM into immediate practice. Certificates of completion will be issued at the conclusion of the Learning Collaborative for those who attend >80% of the sessions and participate actively with case presentations. 

Audience
Licensed professionals from any country who have a clear plan for putting SSCM into immediate practice.

Prerequisites
To ensure all learners start on the same page, attending the didactic workshop is a pre-requisite for participation. AED learning collaboratives are considered educational consultation and explicitly not supervision.  Our consultants provide educational opinions on cases. Clinician’s institutions do the billing and use their own (or their institution’s) malpractice insurance.  Thus, all participants in the learning collaborative must be licensed clinicians with active malpractice insurance. Unlicensed trainee therapists will be considered on a case-by-case basis if the trainee is working under the license and malpractice insurance of an outside supervisor who accepts liability for the trainee’s cases.

Date/Time
12 sessions meeting every other Tuesday for 6 months, beginning March 10, 2026.  The full list of dates will be shared soon.

Application Process
To preserve the individual attention provided in the Learning Collaborative, attendance will be limited to 12 participants each. Applications will be reviewed and those eligible to participate in the course will be sent information to register on a first-come, first-served basis. Depending on the number of applications received, AED may offer more than one SSCM Learning Collaborative to accommodate all interested candidates who meet the criteria of being licensed professionals with the intention to put the therapy into immediate practice.
