Introduction to UpToDate

UpToDate is an evidence-based clinical resource which includes collections of medical and patient education information, access to Lexi-Comp drug monographs, and a variety of medical calculators. It is the only clinical decision support resource associated with improved outcomes. Its primary purpose is to help physicians quickly locate information to answer their questions. This introductory session will demonstrate the major features of the database and will provide a hands-on tutorial on how to search by disease, symptom, lab abnormality, drug, or procedure. The class will also demonstrate how to access search history, create and view bookmarks, and claim credits for Continuing Professional Development (CME). Audience: Physicians, nurses, nurse practitioners, researchers, clinical fellows, post-docs, and trainees.
