A CPNP educational activity, Binge-Eating Disorder: Recognizing Symptoms and Developing a Treatment Plan, is available online. This application-based case is approved for 1 contact hour of ACPE credit and is designed for pharmacists and other healthcare professionals with minimal experience in psychiatry who have an interest in learning more about the treatment of binge eating disorder. This hands-on activity provides the opportunity to develop an appropriate treatment and monitoring plan for a patient with binge eating disorder. Learning is reinforced through an examination with answer justifications and an evidence-based, referenced case key. There is no fee for the activity and participants must complete an exam and evaluation at the end of the activity in order to receive 1.0 contact hour (0.10 CEUs) of continuing pharmacy education credit.
