The primary goal of the BMED/IPC SIG is to strengthen the membership and scope of ABCT by providing a forum for researchers and scientists to discuss the use of CBT research and practice to promote health and treat medical problems. The SIG aims to support work from a public health perspective. Moreover, the SIG seeks to provide a forum for networking for behavioral medicine-focused and primary care-based CBT professionals and researchers. Please review our Mission on the "About Us" page for more about our SIG.

ABCT 2025 Conference Submission Planning:
The ABCT submission portal is now open for general submissions, due March 14th, 2025. We have created a planning spreadsheet for the 2025 conference. We hope that this will help members to start planning for submissions for the 2025 conference, seek collaborations with additional presenters or panelists, or to keep track of planned submissions to help avoid overlap in scope. You may access the planning sheet at this link.
BMED/IPC SIG 2025 Conference Sponsorship:
Each year, the SIG has the opportunity to sponsor two submissions (symposia, clinical roundtables, and panel discussions) for consideration for the ABCT conference. SIG sponsorship does not guarantee automatic acceptance to the conference but offers the SIG an opportunity to indicate our support for submissions of special interest. At this time, we are welcoming submissions of abstracts for consideration for SIG sponsorship.
Submissions are due by e-mail to abctbmedipcsig@gmail.com by Monday, March 3rd, 2025.
Sponsorship decisions will be communicated in advance of the March 14 deadline for ABCT submissions.
