What is uCentral by Unbound Medicine?

uCentral by Unbound Medicine offers a collection of reference text and tools that can be used at the point of care (or bedside) including the John Hopkins ABX Guide, Washington Manual of Medical Therapeutics, Mosby's Drug Reference, clinical calculators, note-taking feature, and searching and locating journal articles.

1. Go to UpToDate

   Weblink Recommendation: The School of Medicine Library recommends using the UpToDate weblink from the
   School of Medicine Library site instead of the mobile app as this eliminates the need to re-authorize your UpToDate account every 90 days. When off-campus, access UpToDate using your ACE account username and password.
