We are pleased to inform you that for the entire month of December, our SBA and San Martino Hospital have access to a free 30-day trial of UpToDate.
A valuable EBM clinical decision support tool, UptoDate aims to help healthcare professionals make the best patient care decisions quickly. It covers 25 specialties and includes more than 35,000 images and 11,800 topics, for each of which the authors (and their
reviewers), date of update and bibliography. Contents are entirely in English, but can be searched for pathologies, symptoms, procedures and drugs in other languages, including Italian.
The access to the resource in trial is allowed from the University internal workstations and from the San Martino Hospital internal workstations starting from the page:
