Supporting Physicians at the Point of Care 

Divisions of Family Practice provides member access to clinical decision support tool UpToDate at no cost to the individual physician.

UpToDate is an online clinical decision support resource, serving as a trusted medical "colleague" that provides unbiased, evidence-based medical information at the point of care. Subscribers can tap into the collective wisdom and experience of more than 5,100 leading clinicians (including Canadian physicians) on thousands of clinical topics. They can also check drug information, use 135 medical calculators, and access over 1,500 patient articles. Registered users can also acquire CME Mainpro credits for researching clinical questions in UpToDate.

UpToDate is available to all funded Divisions of Family Practice members, at no cost to the individual physician. Physicians using UpToDate usually find answers to their clinical questions within two to three minutes, and report that it saves them one to three hours a week researching treatment options.
