Earn and redeem CME
To earn CME/CE/CPD credit, you must be a registered user affiliated with an organization that licenses UpToDate or an individual subscriber.
Each accrediting body recognizes one of two tracking methods. UpToDate offers both of these methods. Visit www.uptodate.com/cme for a current list of accrediting organizations.
- Point-of-care learning — tracks research question, topics reviewed, and user documentation of how information was applied in practice.
- Time-based tracking system — tracks length of time user spends reading a topic (up to 10 mins per topic per session).
