ED Awareness/training in Medical Schools across Canada

The Issue

Did you know that in Canada, 70% of doctors receive 5 hours or less of eating disorder-specific training while in medical school?

There is so much stigma that surrounds eating disorders within our healthcare systems. In order to break down these stigmas and biases, learning more about eating disorders is a good start. 

We call on The Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada, and the College of Family Physicians of Canada to include more content for eating disorder-specific training. We need them to start breaking down the stigma that surrounds eating disorders and provide better support for clients.
