  • In the ‘Office Staff’ section at the bottom of the screen, click the ‘+’ icon to add a name.

Once you’ve registered for UpToDate, click on the UpToDate icon on the top taskbar on the private side of your division’s website and it will take you right to the search function. 
 

7. How do I earn CME credits?

Members must register during their first visit in order to earn CME credits while researching a clinical question through UpToDate. Subsequently, the member must sign in to DivIt when using UpToDate. Users can browse the database without signing in, but CME credits will not apply to that session. If you sign in to the UpToDate website without going through DivIt, you will not be eligible to earn CME credits.

8. How do I get a refund if I have already purchased UpToDate?

Members who already purchased UpToDate can apply to be reimbursed. Refunds on individual subscriptions will be issued directly to the individual or organization that purchased the subscription using the same payment method (credit card, check, etc.)
