About 50 professionals from Chicago and throughout Wisconsin – along with a dietitian from Grand Rapids, MI – attended the recent meeting of the Heartland iaedp Chapter. Held at the Radisson Milwaukee West Hotel in Wauwatosa, WI, the event was sponsored by Rogers Memorial Hospital and The REDI Clinic. The event, which addressed a much-requested topic, was geared toward providing members with key information on OCD and its relationship to eating disorders (ED). Participants were treated to lunch and networking, along with a continuing education course by Bradley C. Riemann, PhD, and Theodore E. Weltzin, MD, FAED“Unlocking the Door: Strategies for Treating OCD in Eating Disorder Patients.” According to evaluations, the course was an important one, offering an abundance of data and treatment suggestions. Responses also indicated presenters were top-notch and the concept of co-occurring eating disorder/OCD symptoms and overlapping treatment would be beneficial for patients. The Heartland iaedp – International Association of Eating Disorder Professionals – helps to provide education and promote treatment to social workers, counselors and psychologists in Illinois, Missouri, Wisconsin, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan and Ohio.

During the 161st Annual Meeting of the American Medical Association (AMA) House of Delegates, Michael M. Miller, M.D., Medical Director of the Herrington Recovery Center, and Jerry Halverson, M.D., Medical Director of Adult Psychiatric Services, testified at committee hearings. Just as proposals for new laws are debated in legislative committee hearings, the delegates help to establish AMA policies on health and related topics by debating proposals for new policies in reference committees. This year, many topics were debated, including whether the AMA should advocate legislation that requires tobacco companies to indicate nicotine content of their products.

“The worst thing you can have is a low-nicotine cigarette,” Dr. Miller said. “There is clear evidence that where there is lower nicotine, human beings adjust the strength of their draw and length they hold it in, delivering even more smoke to their lungs. Good intention is behind this resolution but science is not on the side of this.” Dr. Miller’s comments contributed to the AMA’s decision to remove the recommendation that nicotine content should be included on packaging as part of its policy.

Both Dr. Miller and Dr. Halverson are very active within their specialties, bringing their experience as physicians to the AMA and helping to keep Rogers informed about emerging developments in medicine on a national level.
