Ethical Considerations When Students Experience an Active Eating Disorder during Their Dietetics Training
The examination of eating disorders among dietetics students and nutrition and dietetics practitioners is not new. But whether the topic involves an ethical dilemma is worth exploring. The authors modified a framework used by Fornari1 and O’Sullivan Maillet and colleagues2 to examine the ethical considerations that arise when students experience a spectrum of disordered eating or eating disorders during their academic training to become a nutrition and dietetics practitioner (see Figure).
