Pine Rest Christian Mental Health Services invites physicians, physician assistants, and nurse practitioners to the next session in the Pine Rest Grand Rounds Series, featuring an expert-led presentation on evidence-based approaches to treating eating disorders.
“Evidence-Based Approaches to Treating Anorexia Nervosa and Bulimia Nervosa” will be presented by Daniel Gih, MD, Professor and Vice Chair of Education in the University of Nebraska Medical Center Department of Psychiatry. Dr. Gih provides clinical care in child and adolescent psychiatry and is the founding program director of the UNMC Psychiatry Residency Program. While previously on faculty at the University of Michigan, he co-founded and directed the University of Michigan Comprehensive Eating Disorder Program, the state’s only academic partial hospitalization program for children and young adults with eating disorders.
Eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa are complex, multifactorial illnesses that require coordinated medical, nutritional, and psychotherapeutic care. This presentation will offer an evidence-based overview of current treatment approaches, with emphasis on early intervention, appropriate level-of-care decisions, medical monitoring, and the central role of weight restoration and meal normalization.
Dr. Gih will also review the limited but important role of psychotropic medications in treatment.
Learning objectives include:
- Determining the most appropriate treatment setting for patients diagnosed with an eating disorder
- Describing the core treatment principles for anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa
- Reviewing the evidence supporting the use of psychotropic medications in eating disorder treatment
