At the end of June we celebrated the retirement of Rick Severson, director of the library since 2001. Rick guided the library through an era of great growth and transformation, and was known for his keen intellect, philosophical nature, and charming humility. He will be missed. Noelle Stello, NUNM’s associate librarian since 2005, succeeds Rick as College Librarian.
Earn CME credit using UpToDate
May 26, 2012It is now possible for faculty to earn and redeem CME credit from their research using NUNM’s UpToDate account. Since NUNM has an institutional membership, you must register yourself first, then login whenever you use UpToDate so that the database will track your earned credits.
At NUNM, we are using the library EZProxy server for tracking UpToDate registration and login information. At some point in the future, we hope to have this capability within the clinic EPIC system as well.
Here is what you need to do to get registered:
- You must register from a computer that is not on the NUNM campus. This is important; it will not work if you are on campus.
- From an off-campus computer.
- Click on the register as a new user button, and fill out the registration form.
After you have registered, you can access UpToDate as you normally would on our campus, then click on the login link in the upper right corner. If you want to login to UpToDate from off campus, you will need to use the blue off-campus users link on the library’s databases list mentioned above.
