The Southeastern Regional Medical-Nutrition Education Network (SER-MEN) was developed to coordinate and improve nutrition education in a consortium of the medical schools in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina. SERMEN's central office is at the Medical College of Georgia with the testing office at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. Students, faculty, and consultants in nutrition, education, and computer networking work together on projects on each campus that are coordinated and planned through semiannual meetings. A standardized examination was developed with the Nutrition Test-Item Bank to assess nutrition knowledge at various years of medical students from network schools. Each SERMEN school is connected to a microcomputer system at the central office that provides access to a data base of nutrition education and resources on each campus for developing curricula and syllabi. Funding has been provided by societies, foundations, and government agencies.
东南地区医学营养教育网络（SERMEN）的设立旨在协调并改善阿拉巴马州、佛罗里达州、佐治亚州和南卡罗来纳州医学院联盟中的营养教育。SERMEN的中心办公室位于佐治亚医学院，测试办公室位于阿拉巴马大学伯明翰分校。营养、教育和计算机网络方面的学生、教师及顾问在各校区共同开展项目，这些项目通过半年一次的会议进行协调和规划。利用营养试题库开发了一项标准化考试，以评估网络学校不同年级医学生的营养知识。SERMEN的每所学校都与中心办公室的微机系统相连，该系统可提供各校区营养教育和资源数据库的访问权限，用于制定课程和教学大纲。资金由协会、基金会和政府机构提供。
