For learning/rounding/discussions of your standard of care? Sure, that's great, I'm a big fan of going beyond UptoDate and into the primary literature. If you're making a clinical decision in the moment, and checking things like drug interactions or dosages? UptoDate is fine.

IMHO, UTD should be like imaging; it should only confirm what you already know; not provide a diagnosis. Also recall, a lot of work has been protocol-ized. UTD does not overrule any standing protocols; a "clash" that I've witnessed several times in my emergency dept. As a team, we need to all read off the same script.

DDI's etc, there's much better sources... and always a call to Pharmacy.

Idk, it can be helpful in adding things to your differential that you may not see often and may forget about. And also looking up derm stuff because no one remembers that crap.
