Course Description

This introductory-level course prepares clinicians to recognize and describe Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) within general clinical practice. Clinicians will be presented with a review of DSM-5-TR criteria for ARFID, along with relevant epidemiological information. To expand clinical insight, the presenters will focus on conceptualizing the different subtypes of ARFID and on differentiating ARFID from Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). The course concludes with a brief introduction to evidence-based treatment options for ARFID. Core concepts will be reinforced through the use of clinical vignettes illustrating a range of ARFID presentations.
