Abstract
The 8th biennial national conference of the Association of Psychologists in Academic Health Centers (APAHC) was held in Detroit, MI, March 9–11, 2017. All speakers were invited to contribute manuscripts based on their conference presentations to this special issue of the Journal of Clinical Psychology in Medical Settings, and five presenters did so. All manuscripts were peer reviewed by experts in the field. The Conference Co-Chairs, Drs. Amy M. Williams and John A. Yozwiak, serve as Guest Editors for the special issue with Associate Editorial support from Dr. Elizabeth D. Cash. This article provides a brief overview of the rationale for the choice of the conference theme and the speakers, and a brief introduction to the articles in this special issue.

The Co-Chairs of the 2017 Association of Psychologists in Academic Health Centers (APAHC) Conference, would like to acknowledge and thank all of the presenters at the conference, as well as the authors of the articles for this special issue. We were fortunate to have a stellar group of psychologists and physicians with extensive experiences in academic health centers who eagerly agreed to share their expertise. The Co-Chairs would also like to acknowledge the many sponsors of the conference: Society of Clinical Psychology (American Psychological Association [APA] Division 12), Society for Clinical Neuropsychology (APA Division 40), Health Psychology (APA Division 38), The Society for Clinical Child and Adolescent Psychology (APA Division 53), American Academy of Clinical Psychology, National Register of Health Psychologists, and the American Board of Professional Psychology. We also would like to thank the members of the APAHC Board of Directors for their support and encouragement. Finally, and most importantly, the 2017 Conference would not have been a success were it not for the Conference Planning Committee. The core conference was built by Elizabeth D. Cash, Ph.D. (Sponsorship), Laura Daniels, Ph.D. (Registration), Kristine Diaz, Ph.D. and Teresa Pan, M.A. (Media and Advertising), Lauren Penwell-Waines, Ph.D. (Scientific Poster Session), and Donna LaPaglia, Ph.D. and Stephanie Powers, Ph.D. (CV Consults). The Early Career Bootcamp was made possible by the dedication of Kelly Foran-Tuller, Ph.D., Leila Islam, Ph.D., and Laura Daniels, Ph.D. A new addition to the 2017 Conference, the Mid-Career Bootcamp, was brought to being by Eugene D’Angelo, Ph.D., Mariella Self, Ph.D., and Laura Shaffer, Ph.D. We are indebted to this group, for it is their unselfish volunteering of their time, hard work, and dedication that led to the success of the 2017 Conference. Dr. John A. Yozwiak, Dr. Amy M. Williams, and Dr. Elizabeth D. Cash declare that they have no conflict of interest.
