Users do NOT need to register for a new UpToDate account if already using an existing account (ie. CME credits or history/bookmarks attached to existing account).
- During the registration process, click the “sign in” link on the registration page to sign in with existing UpToDate account username & password
- Completing this step will auto-merge the existing account into a new SSO UpToDate account. This is the PREFERERED METHOD for merging accounts.
- This means the old UpToDate username (assuming it's not URMC or UR e-mail address) will become irrelevant and new username will be URMC or UR e-mail address.
New User/Never had an UpToDate Account
- Complete all the fields on the registration form to create a brand-new SSO account.
