Bulimia Nervosa can lead to a chemical and electrolyte imbalance in the body, which can even affect the functions of the heart and other major organs. For example, laxative abuse may cause irregular bowel movements and chronic constipation. Also, periods of binge eating increase the risk of potential gastric rupture. In this context, it is vital that psychologists have a thorough understanding of the medical and emotional complications of EDs. This will enable them to employ treatments aimed at emotional regulation, which will also bring great therapeutic benefits.
In response to this need, TECH has developed a pioneering program to make students aware of the gastrointestinal complications of EDs. Backed by experienced faculty, the curriculum will address in depth the damage to the esophagus and stomach lining. In addition, it will address the dangers of both perforation and bleeding in the esophagus. In this sense, students will learn how to detect the symptoms of bulimina nervosa and apply the most beneficial cognitive-behavioral therapies according to the particularities of each patient. In addition, mental health professionals will promote a healthy body image and develop actions to prevent eating disorders in society.
On the other hand, students will only require a device with Internet access to access the didactic material. In this sense, the schedules and evaluation chronograms can be planned individually. It should be noted that the syllabus will be based on the innovative Relearning teaching system that relies on repetition to guarantee the mastery of its different aspects. At the same time, it mixes the learning process with real situations so that knowledge is acquired in a natural and progressive way, without the extra effort of memorizing. Also, the program uses resources in various formats such as explanatory videos or infographics.
