Q. How can I access UpToDate? How do I cite it?

Accessing UpToDate

UpToDate is a health sciences database providing clinical information, emphasis on internal medicine, obstetrics & gynecology, and family practice. It can be found on the Thompson Library A-Z list of databases, as well as on several subject guides relating to health care.

You need to create a personal account to use this database. Mobile apps are available in the app stores for iOS and Android, or linked on the publisher's website. You can then access UpToDate anywhere using the mobile app or the link on our website for a desktop or laptop.

To keep your UpToDate account active, you need to re-verify your affiliation with your organization once every 30 days. You can do this by logging in. If you haven't used UpToDate for 25 days, you will receive a reminder email to keep your account active.
