For Designated Campus Colleagues (DCCs)

If you're a DCC, you should access UpToDate through your hospital or clinical site (Banner employees, see access for Banner employees). If your site does not provide access to UpToDate and you are affiliated with the College of Medicine-Phoenix or the College of Medicine-Tucson, please ask your University of Arizona department administrator to request access for you.
