Our technology allows you to view this content on any size screen so you can engage with PracticeUpdate on a computer, tablet or smartphone, regardless of the manufacturer, operating system, or browser (except Blackberry—not our fault).

We Read Everything So You Don’t Have To
- The doctors on the PracticeUpdate team review the top journals, medical conference presentations and other credible peer-reviewed sources to identify developments that could impact your practice.
- Our world-renowned editorial board, in consultation with their colleagues on our advisory board, select the ‘must know’ information from these selections.
- In many cases, our board members or outside experts will provide insights and context to the developments in the form of commentaries. For broader topics of current interest, these experts create Expert Opinion pieces- which may be interviews (both text and video), seminal articles, FAQ pieces or conference commentaries.
In addition, our experts identify the key developments likely to be presented at major conferences and notify our members before the conference. Our conference coverage is designed to provide the specialist with both news (from respected third party sources) as well as analysis (from our experts) in a timely and efficient manner.
