The Society for Medical Decision Making (SMDM), founded in 1979, works to improve health and clinical care of individuals and populations through the advancement of systematic methods to address decision-making under conditions of uncertainty, and to provide a training ground for scholars in the field of medical decision making. Members include researchers, clinicians, educators, managers and policy makers from varied backgrounds and academic disciplines. SMDM provides opportunities for collaboration, networking and mentorship to professionals and trainees in varied settings, such as hospitals, universities, foundations, industry or government.
The SMDM website includes public access to information about upcoming and past meetings, news, networking opportunities, education and career tools, and links to both their subscription journal (Medical Decision Making) and their open access journal (Medical Decision Making Policy & Practice).
