Hear from fellow physician peers
I read case presentations and learn a lot from some of them. Commenting on topics of interest and participating in surveys are my favorites.
Important to know side effects that are not common for drugs that I do not normally prescribe. Nice to know other people’s perceptions of interactions.
My favorite part of Sermo is to interact with other physicians of various specialties when we discuss medical cases and share what is the best approach and what has worked for us. It’s an enriching, learning experience, especially when it comes from physicians from different countries than mine.
