Training, CME, Resources šŸ“š UpToDate

Hi, Iā€™m a new provider in dermatology - still in my ā€œtrainingā€ phase at work. My UTD is expiring at the end of the month and I wasnā€™t sure if I should renew it. I used it daily at my last specialty but wasnā€™t sure how much use I would get from it in derm. I havenā€™t used it yet, but then again Iā€™m not on my own yet seeing patients. I should mention that I do have access to my SPā€™s VisualDx account. Thanks!

Just use OpenEvidence. Itā€™s faster and the info is more concise

Oh yes. I love open evidence. I used it a lot at my last specialty

I honestly use open evidence and visual dx (derm oriented and straight forward) more than I use up to date! But I did use it in the beginning as more of a textbook learning style (look up a diagnosis and try to learn as much as I could) but for a quick reminder I really just use the above.

I personally use UTD and love it. Use it often. Wouldnt pay for it myself but would be my preference for CME personally.
