Better Evidence for Clinical Care
Better Evidence for Clinical Care grants clinicians free access to evidence-based digital tools to ensure that they have the information needed to diagnose, treat, and advise their patients. We have also piloted a series of generative AI-based clinical decision support tools for our network, using real-world feedback to guide equitable solutions for low-resource settings.
To receive a donated UpToDate subscription, eligible clinicians can apply for or renew their subscription on the Better Evidence application portal.
To be eligible, clinicians must:
- Be a physician, nurse, physician’s assistant, pharmacist, or medical student outside of the United States.
- Volunteer/work for a public or non-profit entity.*
- Verify your email address and employment status.

All recipients must apply to renew their subscriptions annually. To avoid disruptions to your account, please complete the renewal application 1-2 months before your annual subscription expires.
*For-profit organizations are not eligible to apply.

“Better Evidence has been a lifesaver to me. Since I am the only physician in my hospital, it has been guiding knowledge to me. Any confusion regarding a disease or any recent update in treatment, I just use Better Evidence for the solution.”
