The Eating Disorders and Nutrition Program at Dartmouth College incorporates multiple, collaborating areas of the College Health Service. The Eating Disorder Treatment Team consists of representatives from the Primary Care & Preventive Medicine (PCPM) Out-Patient Department, the In-Patient department (IPD), Counseling and Human Development (CHD), and Nutrition areas of the Health Service. These departments work together to create, plan, and implement eating disorders treatment on the Dartmouth campus.
Health Promotion's primary role in this is through eating disorders outreach and education. Health Promotion sponsors the Eating Disorders Peer Advisors, called (EDPA), which is a student peer resource group for eating disorders and nutrition assistance, information, and referral on campus.
In addition to individual therapy and informational resources, Counseling and Human Development offers group therapy for eating disorders and body image concerns, as well as an online screening for Eating Disordered behavior.
