The five core concepts of CAMSA are the backbone of EDC-D's bio-psycho-social-spiritual treatment model of therapy. CAMSA focuses on connecting with each individual patient on a personal level. EDC-D knows that all eating disorders touch the very core of those afflicted, so they work to heal patients as a whole person.

The board advises the center on enhancing its treatment model, as well as provides guidance on integration of clinical research into treatment, best industry practices and professional education. It also contributes advice and expertise on current or emerging issues related to the understanding and treatment of eating disorders.
