2014 agenda

Pre-Meeting Workshops ~ PM ~ 8:30-11:30am
Pre-1: Beyond the Weight Police: Working Effectively with Eating Disordered Students in the Medical
Setting
Abstract: Working with students with eating disorders is challenging, both because of the medical risks of the illness and the unusual dynamic of the visit. Unlike most students we see, ED students are at best ambivalent about getting better and often frankly resistant. This sets the stage for an antagonistic and judgmental dynamic between clinician and student. This workshop, led by a physician, a nutritionist and a therapist, will present key tasks in ED treatment and concrete guidance on developing a treatment plan. We will introduce motivational interviewing techniques as a way to change the dynamic between clinicians and students. There will be time to discuss current cases in small groups. We will not be discussing involuntary leaves.

Pre-3: Hot Legal Disability Topics
Abstract: Not long ago, campuses often addressed health issues without regard to disability status. But following amendments to the Americans with Disabilities Act, institutions find themselves untangling the legal thicket posited by hidden health and mental health conditions interplaying throughout campus life. This session targets three topics: mental health and the confusion surrounding therapy animals; food allergies and meal planning; and concussive injuries – what legal obligations apply? We will analyze the legal backdrop and then share information from a campus on how they are addressing each issue.
