Hey folks

We would like to encourage you all to consider the upcoming
conference on Behavioral Science and Family Medicine in Chicago.
Many of the topics discussed will prove interesting and applicable
to those interested in working with patients with spiritual issues.

Take a look at the following information

The 26th Forum for Behavioral Science in Family Medicine

September 15-18, 2005 ~ Chicago, Illinois

Cosponsored by the Society of Teachers of Family Medicine

And

The Medical College of Wisconsin


"Making the Difference in Family Medicine Today and Tomorrow"


NEW LOCATION for 2005…"Just steps away from the legendary
Magnificent Mile," Double Tree Guest Suites Chicago-Downtown,
Chicago, IL.


The incorporation of behavioral scientists truly makes the
difference in family medicine today. But to maintain and improve
behavioral science education in family medicine tomorrow requires a
shift in emphasis from processes to outcomes as required by the
Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education's (ACGME)
newly
mandated competency-based education. Outcomes are the results of
processes that matter to students, residents, patients, colleagues
and the various communities that shape and are shaped by our work.
This year's theme challenges us to examine and report on outcomes
that are sometimes difficult to measure such as resident
professionalism, internalizing the value of interdisciplinary
teamwork, and commitment to supporting patients' healthy
lifestyle
behavior changes over time. The 26th Forum for Behavioral Science
in Family Medicine will examine and report the differences
behavioral science has made and the practical methods that help us
evaluate outcomes, among others. The theme also provides us with a
great opportunity to recognize and celebrate the profound and
meaningful differences we continue to make in family medicine.


2005 Plenary Speakers:

* Marian Stuart, PhD, UMDNJ-Robert Wood Johnson Medical School

* Robert Rakel, MD and David Rakel, MD, Baylor College of Medicine
and Madison Family Practice Residency Program, Madison, Wisconsin

* Jerry Kruse, MD, MSPH, Southern Illinois University


The 2005 conference will offer workshops, seminars, and educational
breakfast forums highlighting the following important topics:

• Outstanding features of behavioral science education;

• Practices and methods that advance communication and
interpersonal
skills;

• Evaluation of outcomes in system-wide patient care programs;

• Innovative methods that help learners meet – or exceed
– ACGME
competency requirements;

• PLUS…the Forum is offering the Balint Track Workshop again
this
year. Enrollment is limited!


For the 26th year, the Forum offers inspiring prominent speakers in
the intimacy of a regional meeting. Each year brings together both
veteran and first-time attendees to gain skills, share and discuss
important ideas, and develop engaging colleague relationships.
Participants leave feeling personally refreshed and professionally
renewed. We look forward to having you join us this fall in Chicago!
