Membership in the Society of Directors of Research in Medical Education (SDRME) is open to individuals who lead or co-lead a unit responsible for medical education research, evaluation, or program development at an accredited medical school or health professions education institution.

These units may go by various names (e.g., Office of Medical Education, Center for Research in Medical Education, etc.) but should have a defined role in advancing educational scholarship. Institutions may have more than one eligible representative (maximum 2), but typically one member serves as the designated representative.
