Does
SER have a retired rate?
Yes.
SER does offer an emeritus rate to longstanding SER members who
are retired.
Who qualifies
for the student rate?
An
individual qualifies for the student rate at the graduate, post
graduate and post-doc level. However, an individual can only qualify
for the student rate for 4 consecutive years.
Why are
memberships on a calendar year basis?
In order
to manage subscriptions to the American Journal of Epidemiology
and manage the business of SER, it was determined that membership
renewal on a calendar year basis, with a set renewal period, would
be the most beneficial to the Society and its membership.

I become a member of SER?

this link to fill out the online membership application. Payment
is due at the time of submission and can be submitted by VISA or

What
is included in SER membership?
A
full year subscription to AJE (January - December) is included in
SER membership. Also included in SER
is an issue of the Epidemiologic Reviews published each January.
Also included in SER membership is a bi-annual newsletter, discounted
registration fees for the Annual meeting held in June each year,
and an online Job Board (coming this winter).
How
often do I renew?
Individuals
must renew each year. SER does not at this time have a multi-year
renewal option. The renewal period begins at the end of October each year for the following year..
Memberships submitted after December 15 will still receive a full year membership and will be sent back issues of any journals missed from January onward.
How do I access AJE Online?
SER has a global username and password for its membership which changes annually. If you do not have access, email membership@epiresearch.org. If your membership is current and paid in full, you will be given the username and password.
What is contained in the Members only section of the website and how do I access it?
An online membership directory and an online job board (coming this winter) are both available in the members-only section of the SER website. In addition, access to Online AJE is available for full SER members. You must have a username and password to access this information. If you do not have access, email membership@epiresearch.org.
