The Society of Behavioral Medicine (SBM) is seeking SBM student members interested in volunteering at the 43rd Annual Meeting & Scientific Sessions, taking place April 6 to April 9, 2022, in Baltimore, MD.
All volunteers are asked to meet the requirements listed below in return for a reimbursement of their registration fee. Common volunteer responsibilities include working the registration desk, conducting session headcounts, using SBM social media accounts, and taking pictures of sessions.
Volunteer positions are given out based on merit, so students who apply with top scored abstracts will be selected. Positions are limited, so please note that completing and submitting your application does not confirm or imply acceptance.
