Any and all epidemiology students or postdocs may join this SER Student Caucus list serv. You do not have to necessarily be a member of SER. However, we strongly encourage student-epidemiologists, public health students, or medical students interested in epidemiology to consider becoming members of the Society for Epidemiologic Research, either registering for membership online or registering to attend the SER annual meeting in June.

We periodically send out general annoucements regarding information useful to epidemiology students at large, assess student feedback on the state of epidemiology education, as well as information on how to participate on SER student committees--which include annual program planning committee, nominations committee, membership committee, and the abstracts review committee.

Any questions about SER-Student Caucus, you may contact Eric Ding (SC Secretary 2004-2005) or Sonia Singh (SC President 2004-2005). [emails at the bottom of this page]
