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 that you can install
on a desktop or laptop computer and on some mobile devices. You will
receive an updated software release every four months for the duration
of your subscription.
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, websites, 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 will 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. You will be able to access UpToDate online immediately after your
order is processed.
We send all software packages for desktop or laptop computer and
mobile device installations by priority mail and/or 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 standing, 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. If you're not completely satisfied with your UpToDate
subscription, you can simply cancel within 60 days for a full refund.
Please note that this policy applies only for subscriptions of one year
or longer.
