9:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. (ticket) - Sold Out 
Each Clinical Practicum is limited to 30 AACAP members. 
Sponsored by the AACAP Local Arrangements Committee 

This practicum, which takes place at the Klarman Eating Disorders Center, on the campus of McLean Hospital, focuses on the practical treatment of children and teenagers with eating disorders. Patient cases from Children’s Hospital Boston and from the Klarman Center are presented with discussion of the cases from various vantage points. 

In the morning, a case from Children’s Hospital is presented, including information regarding inpatient and outpatient treatment by the primary care physician, psychiatrist, and other team members involved. As a contrast to the care of a patient in an academic setting, we explore how this same patient would be treated in a setting outside a major metropolitan area. The day includes a panel discussion of treatment considerations for a variety of other types of patients, including younger children, boys, as well as girls, and college students. If the patient requires more intensive care than outpatient treatment, then the transition to a setting such as a residential or partial hospital program is considered. In the afternoon session this scenario is explored at the Klarman Eating Disorders Center where participants are introduced to the McLean Program and tour the facility.
