"Behavioral
Competence for Integrated Health Care:
Development and Implementation"
October 8 – October 10, 2009
The Lodge at Santa Fe
Sante Fe, NM
This year’s 2009 Annual Meeting theme continues on work begun during the 2008 Annual Meeting, as we now focus on how behavioral scientists have developed and implemented students’ behavioral competencies. As primary care has placed a new emphasis on the “medical home,” where the focus is on accessible, continuous, comprehensive, family-centered, coordinated, compassionate, and culturally effective care, the 2009 theme, “Behavioral Competence for Integrated Health Care: Development and Implementation,” is designed to facilitate further discussion, thought and presentation of evidence-based practices in integrated health care. By the end of the 2009 ABSAME Annual Meeting, we expect attendees to better know how to best develop and implement the behavioral competencies from the expertise and experience presented in fellow colleagues’ presentations and interactions.
Conference content is expected to benefit faculty, researchers, residents,
graduate and medical students from the fields of psychiatry, psychology, pharmacology,
primary care (family medicine, internal medicine, OB/GYN, pediatrics), neurology,
nursing, social work and allied health as well as sociology, medical anthropology
and the humanities.
