Changes for SCAN's Disordered Eating and Eating Disorders (DEED) Subunit in the 2018-2019 Membership Year

With the membership year beginning June 1, 2018, SCAN will no longer maintain a separate Disordered Eating and Eating Disorders (DEED) Subunit. We will integrate management of programming related to disordered eating and eating disorders into the Sports Dietetics-USA and Cardiovascular and Wellness RDs Subunits. This new approach to volunteer roles and program development will encourage better alignment with SCAN’s strategic scope for programming, as defined in 2015.

 

Disordered Eating and Eating Disorder RD's: As a subunit of SCAN, Disordered Eating and Eating Disorders (DEED) has a leadership team, strategic goals and a national network of partners for professionals and patients.
