DynaMed gives the best evidence in quick summary format of clinical topics, covering etiology, diagnosis, treatment, prognosis, prevention, etc. as well as providing links to articles. Available via desktop or mobile device, DynaMed is updated daily and edited by physicians. DynaMed does the time-consuming task of searching for the best evidence for you.

UpToDate provides evidence-based narrative style summaries of clinical topics. Also updated daily and edited by physicians, it takes a more directive approach that many users favor. Available via desktop. 

  • Note: UptoDate is available to select groups only. See our UpToDate guide for more information.

The Cochrane Library is a group of databases such as the better known Database of Systematic Reviews or the Central Register of Controlled Trials. Each contains different types of high-quality evidence to inform healthcare decision-making. The filtered resources listed above (DynaMed & UpToDate) depend on Cochrane as a main source for evidence.
