About the Forum
First held in 1980, The Forum for Behavioral Science in Family Medicine has continuously served to stimulate the advancement of behavioral science in family medicine. The Forum has always placed a high value on networking professional development, and the integration of behavioral science in family medicine training. From its inception, The Forum has provided a wide range of presentations on methods for teaching the behavioral sciences, relying upon a strong tradition of interaction between presenters and participants. The program includes a track devoted to developing clinical skills for behavioral scientists and family physicians.
The Department of Family Medicine, Medical College of Wisconsin has sponsored The Forum for the past ten years and The Society of Teachers of Family Medicine has endorsed or provided support for the conference since 1981. The success of The Forum reflects the successful efforts of behavioral scientists and family physicians to integrate behavioral science into the core of medical education.
