Support SBM
A healthier world is possible. A world that knows what behavioral medicine is and how valuable it is. A world that recognizes our individual members as esteemed experts. A world where members advance their careers and the field, and impact real lives.
Help us create that world. Give today!
“Members of SBM have ambitious plans. We would like to support and train the next generation of behavioral medicine researchers, be heard by policy makers on the federal and state level, and reach out to groups who could benefit from our science. But we are hampered in these efforts by a lack of funds. As former Treasurer and President of our Society I had to deal with this frustrating reality many times. Let’s do something about this together. If we all pitch in and participate in the Giving Campaign we will reach these goals one by one. I have always been impressed by the tight-knit family spirit of SBM, let’s support each other now and for the common future!”
-Michael Diefenbach, PhD, Past SBM President and Treasurer
