As a clinician, what do I get with my individual subscription
to UpToDate?
You will have access to UpToDate online throughout your
subscription period. You will also receive software for the most recent
version — as well as an updated software release every four months for
the duration of your subscription — that you can install on both a
desktop computer and a PDA device.
Your UpToDate subscription includes comprehensive
information in your own specialty, plus in-depth information on all of
our other specialties, at no extra charge.
What are the conditions of an individual subscription license?
An individual subscription to UpToDate is for your
personal use only. No part of the Licensed Materials may be copied for
resale or posted on public bulletin boards, web sites, Internet domains,
or online chat rooms. You may not sublicense, assign, share, sell, rent,
lease, or otherwise transfer your individual right to use the Licensed
Materials.
You may print or e-mail individual topics from the most
current version of the database. These must amount to an insubstantial
portion of the Licensed Materials and only for (1) your personal
educational use or (2) teaching healthcare professionals if you include
a source reference to UpToDate and its copyright notice. (Click here for
the complete Subscription and License Agreement).
How soon will I have access to UpToDate after I
subscribe?
If you order online, you receive a user name and password that
allow immediate access to UpToDate online (except for trainees
— see information below). We process all other orders within two
business days of their receipt. You will be able to access UpToDate
online immediately after your order is processed.
We send all software packages for desktop computer and PDA installations
by priority mail and airmail.
Trainees: You need to provide proof of status, such as a letter
on institutional letterhead from your program director stating that you
are a trainee in good status, or a photocopy of your badge (with expiration date).
Please be aware that your order will NOT BE PROCESSED until we receive
this proof of status.
Absolutely. Subscribe to UpToDate and use it for
60 days with our 100% money-back guarantee. If you're not satisfied for
any reason, simply return it within that time, and we will provide you
with a prompt refund.
