Protect yourself and others by practicing social distancing, healthy hygiene habits (i.e. frequent hand washing/sanitizing), and all other COVID-19 recommendations. Please let us know if you have any questions. Thank you for your patience.

Due to COVID-19, UpToDate has not made individual subscribers verify their accounts after 90 days for REMOTE ACCESS.

That is currently lifted until the end of September 2020. Please see here for more details about how to verify accounts.
