Society for Medical Decision Making

SMDM’s inaugural Asia-Pacific Conference, Informing Health Care Decision-Making with Evidence, will join the annual SMDM meeting held in North America and the biennial SMDM-Europe conference as venues to promote medical decision making principles and skills internationally, to delve deeply into region-specific priority areas, and to build a regional and international network of colleagues working in this area.

The inaugural SMDM-Asia conference represents the first step in a long-term strategic commitment on the part of SMDM to building stronger connections with the medical and health policy and decision making, research, and education communities located in the Asian region.
