Clinical Database Apps

DynaMed logoDynaMed is a clinical reference tool created by physicians for physicians and other health care professionals for use at the point of care. The DynaMed app is free with every subscription and is compatible with iOS and Android devices.

After installing the app, you can log in with your SU network credentials while your device is connected to SU's Wi-Fi. This type of login must be renewed every 3 months.

Alternatively, you can log in with a Personal User Account. Don’t have a Personal Account? Create one by accessing DynaMed Plus through the SU LIbraries link and then selecting the Sign In link in the top right-hand corner of the screen.


UpToDate logoUpToDate is a practical clinical reference tool that provides quick access to synthesized medical information. 

You can connect to UpToDate on your mobile device without downloading anything at all. The responsive website design adapts to the size of your screen. If you prefer, you can download the UpToDate app for iOS or Android, but you will need to create a personal account before using it.

Personal Account (optional)

When you first connect to UpToDate in a browser, you may be prompted to create a personal account. Current practitioners may find a personal account useful, and personal accounts are necessary for logging into the UpToDate app. Otherwise, most users should skip this step and continue to the search screen. Personal accounts must be renewed every 90 days.
