Free UpToDate.com? - an accessible and accurate clinical answer for everyone -

Just as the title says, there is a free uptodate.com content in the internet. So, what is UpToDate.com? UpToDate.com is an internet based literature search, a peer-reviewed one, similar to medscape.com. The purpose is to bring a more accessible clinical answer to physician. Therefore, when we (clinicians) are facing the patient on an examination room, or even at the bedside, and having difficulties answering some questions regarding patients' condition, instead of reading thick books in front of them, we may look for answers at the net using smartphones.

Well....even though UpToDate.com is more accessible, the subscription cost may not be that feasible...



Therefore, there is freeuptodate.com that is accessible for anyone and anywhere. It is free and have the same content with uptodate.com. Though the version of articles may be older (last update date will be older) than in uptodate.com, most of the articles are usually have the exact same content. 

One thing you need to remember is that you need to login (at the top right corner) first when you want to read the whole content in freeuptodate.com. You will need to subscribe, but once again, it's free.
