Society for Medical Decision Making

I have been coming to SMDM for the past 11 years and return every year because it’s the only society where research is presented, and training is provided on methods of informing medical decision making across the spectrum. 

"SMDM played a major role in helping me launch my career. I found my postdoc then my faculty position through the Society, and I continue to collaborate with many wonderful people who I first met at the annual meeting."

Ever since I was a PhD student, I found SMDM articles to be of high quality, balanced scientific treatment, and technically accessible.

"SMDM is a professional home, providing an excellent international forum to promote methodologically rigorous, multidisciplinary research for health care decision making, networking and career development."

"SMDM gave me priceless profitable experience at the intersection of multidisciplinary approaches in decision making that I've never had previously."

"No other meetings compare to SMDM’s."

"Attending SMDM Meetings has sharpened my research and presentation skills."

"It has been a pleasure to be a link between Brazil and my colleagues from around the world through conferences, teleconferences, short-courses and exchange of ideas."

"SMDM is my professional home, providing an excellent forum to maintain connections with colleagues and venue to distribute and consume methodologically rigorous, multidisciplinary research."

"SMDM has been my professional home for about 20 years now."

"I never felt that I was a newcomer even though I was"

"The most benefits I get from the membership are getting informed of up-to-date information on health decision making as well as resources and tools for professionals in this area."

SMDM short courses helped me to understand the multidimensional perspective and comprehensiveness of decision science.

"Through the SMDM network I have been in contact with SMDM members in Asia Pacific"

"While my research is more methodological, I fully appreciate the exposure to clinical applications I get at SMDM."

"My involvement in SMDM has led to new perspectives I do not find anywhere else"

"SMDM is the professional home to what I consider the top scientists in the field and the scientific meetings always inspire me.   I also consider SMDM membership an indicator of exposure to rigorous methods and cutting edge science when reviewing resumes."
