Are you a healthcare professional looking to make extra income while connecting with peers? Meet Sermo, a trusted community where healthcare professionals like you can share insights, learn from others, and get paid for participating in valuable medical research. Whether you’re a Registered Nurse (RN), Nurse Practitioner (NP), or Physician Assistant (PA), Sermo provides a space tailored to your professional needs and goals.

Who is Sermo?

Sermo began over 20 years ago as a physician survey company, and today, it’s a free global community of over 1.5 million healthcare professionals dedicated to advancing medical knowledge and collaboration. Sermo serves healthcare professionals across the world, including over 400,000 members in the U.S. alone.

Why Should I Join?

You get to contribute to global medical research and connect with peers around the world. All healthcare professionals, including nurses, can participate in these research surveys and provide their valuable insights. NPs and PAs can also join Sermo’s new APP community for even more collaboration and education opportunities.

"This community is invaluable for advanced practice providers, no matter what your specialty is or how long you have been in practice. There is an opportunity to network with providers of all experience levels and all specialties, whether it be for the burning question you have been dying to ask or to consult on a difficult case. It is so nice to finally have a community to call our own." - Sara, Sermo Member and NP in the US.

How Do the Surveys Work?

New survey opportunities are posted frequently. You’ll find them in the Surveys tab after signing up, or via email and SMS alerts (if you choose). Each survey listing gives you a time estimate for how long it will take to complete and the compensation available. After completion, you can choose your payout method, with options including direct deposit, PayPal, Amazon gift card, or donate to Doctors Without Borders.

What Can Nurses Do on Sermo?

Nurses who sign up for Sermo can complete both paid and volunteer medical research surveys. You won’t be quitting your day (or night) job any time soon, but you can earn a bit of extra spending cash. Plus, new members can earn $20 just for signing up and completing your first survey!

The Sermo APP Community

Have you ever been scared to ask practice-related questions on social media sites? Do you have burning questions that seem too silly or minor to ask a colleague? Do you just want to scroll through some funny memes in between patients? No matter what you’re looking for, Sermo’s got you.

The Sermo APP community is a new social platform built just for NPs and PAs. It’s a place to connect, engage, learn, and laugh with thousands of other APPs across the globe. Ask those burning questions you have about healthcare practice, patient scenarios, or what to do next in your career.  You’ll find someone who’s been in your shoes and ready to offer valuable advice!

How do I know the APP community is a safe space?
