artistic representation of the meeting information

The 43rd Annual Meeting and Scientific Sessions of the Society of Behavioral Medicine is April 6-9, in Baltimore. With the meeting theme “The Urgency of Adaptation,” the 2022 conference seeks to showcase opportunities for behavioral medicine to increase its effect on the climate crisis, systemic racism, and the COVID-19 pandemic.

Embedded in the clinical practice, the Mayo Clinic Robert D. and Patricia E. Kern Center for the Science of Health Care Delivery drives practice transformation at Mayo Clinic. Multidisciplinary teams lead projects and programs across critical intersections of health and health care, including technology, community and population health, disparities and routes to equity.

At #SBM2022, Mayo Clinic is on site at booth #3, offering opportunities to learn more about our research and related career opportunities.

Here are all the other places you can hear from Mayo Clinic experts during #SBM2022, or see the results of collaborations near and far:
