The UCSD EDC seminar series, overseen by our training director, Dr. Leslie Anderson, runs via zoom on most Tuesdays from 12:00-1:00 PST during the academic year. Seminars include topics related to the latest research and evidence-based treatment of eating disorders and related conditions. Seminars are free and open to UCSD staff & trainees, as well as community clinicians, researchers and students. Our seminars are a great time to learn from experts about a variety of topics.
We include Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion in Treatment (EDIT) seminars every year in our lineup. EDIT seminars include speakers from both within and outside of UCSD who can speak to how to provide culturally responsive care and understand the impact of our patients’ diverse backgrounds on their mental health.
Seminars require advance registration, and the link to register to each seminar is sent on our email list. If you’d like to be included on the email list on which we send out the seminar schedule as well as announcements of upcoming seminars, please sign up here.
