The Whole is Greater than the Sum of Its Parts.
That's the perfect metaphor for the Society of Behavioral Medicine. Each
part, each discipline, can stand alone. But together - when nursing,
psychology, medicine and public health form an interdisciplinary team -
new perspectives emerge on human behavior, health and disease
management. SBM has created the premiere scientific forum for over 3,000
behavioral and biomedical researchers and clinicians to study the
interactions of behavior, physiological and biochemical states, and
morbidity and mortality. It studies and promotes integration of modern
technological advances to promote effective and efficient health care.
And, it serves as a dynamic forum for discussion of clinical and public
policy concerns related to prevention, diagnosis and treatment, and
promotion of effective health care across the full spectrum of the
population. Website: www.sbm.org |
