<p> The purpose of this project was to develop a facility-specific dietary training program for diet technicians at Center for Discovery, a residential eating disorder treatment program. This dietary training program aimed to educate new diet technicians on how to effectively treat, communicate, and work with individuals with eating disorders.</p><p> The dietary training program consists of 10 lessons, each consisting of a lecture, discussion and activity component. Based on current research, this is the most effective lesson format when educating the adult population. Each lesson includes handouts for further reading and a pre- and post-program questionnaire to determine the effectiveness of the program.</p><p> An expert panel reviewed the program and provided feedback and recommendations for revisions. For the purpose of this project, the program was not pilot-tested but should be prior to its implementation.</p>
