Sermo - Healthcare Community

These surveys are incredibly frustrating. You go through most of the questions, sometimes up to the very end, only to be excluded from the study without fair reason. For instance, I recently spent 30 minutes on a DLBCL-related survey (which is my area of expertise). The final question asked whether I would be open to follow-up contact and clearly stated that my response would not affect my eligibility. I selected “No,” and was immediately disqualified. That was misleading, if not outright dishonest. In another case, I spent 15 minutes on a survey before being excluded simply because I declined to share patient information from charts—an entirely reasonable and ethical stance. In total, I wasted over two hours on these surveys and received absolutely nothing in return. I strongly discourage any physician from participating. They collect valuable insights for free while disregarding your time and professional boundaries.

The Sermo market research app is without a doubt the best app in the industry for participating in research surveys. It is also expanding its ability to help doctors communicate with patients by adding the ability to call and connect with patients, which is the first service offered by any app like this of its kind. It allows also for physicians and nurse practitioners to come together in a community and communicate about patient cases and take place in weekly polls and stay better connected with one another than any other app that services healthcare professionals on the market!

Sermo has been an invaluable platform for connecting with a like-minded community of physicians. It provides a space for real, unfiltered discussions on clinical cases, new research, and the challenges of practicing medicine. I appreciate how easy it is to engage with colleagues from different specialties, gaining insights and perspectives that I wouldn’t otherwise encounter in my day-to-day practice. Whether it’s staying up to date on medical advancements or just sharing experiences with peers who truly understand the field, Sermo fosters a sense of community that is often hard to find in medicine.
