I appreciate and participate in Sermo surveys which cover a broad range of medical subject matter relevant to the clinician; as well as having the benefit of remuneration for completing them. I also enjoy the Weekly Promo and Poll of the Week that often provide topics that I found of some interest and occasionally intriguing.

How do colleague referral rewards work?
Eligible members can invite colleagues using their personal referral link, email invitation, or QR code. You earn a reward when your colleague completes the offer’s required steps. Referral eligibility and reward amounts vary by country, profession, specialty, and program.

How much can I earn?
Your earnings depend on the opportunities available to you, which ones you qualify for, and the participation requirements you complete. Check the reward details in each study invitation or program announcement. No income is guaranteed.
Will I qualify for every survey or earning opportunity?
