If you are a physician or medical school representative based in Africa, take into account a great opportunity to have a FreeAccess to UpToDate that is one of the best sources of medical knowledge. Better Evidence for Training at Ariadne Labs provides free access to digital evidence-based decision support tools for Africa. This team already facilitated digital tool access to more than 89,000 students, residents, and faculty in 59 medical schools across 16 countries, and provided more than 188,000 free subscriptions to health workers in low resource settings across 182 countries.

If you are in a medical school, check whether your school is eligible to apply https://www.ariadnelabs.org/better-evidence/medical-school-program

If you are a physician not affiliated with medical school, apply through the Better Evidence for Clinical Care program https://www.better-evidence.org
