Seminar Series

The UCSD EDC seminar series runs via zoom on most Tuesdays from 12:00-1:00 PST during the academic year. The seminar includes topics related to the latest research and evidence-based treatment of eating disorders and related conditions. The seminar is 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.

The EDIT Series
We offer the Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion in Treatment Series as part of our Tuesday Seminars. This EDIT Series provides insight on how to "edit" the way that we think about cultural competency issues in therapy. We invite 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.
