Epocrates Access Information: Epocrates

Access to Epocrates+

For a drug resource, the Netter Library provides access to Micromedex, and there is also drug information in resources such as UpToDate.

Epocrates does offer complementary access to their premium version for students while attending school. Below is information from their website on their application process:

 

Step One: The process starts with registering for an epocrates account either from the epocrates mobile app or online at epocrates.com through the Create Account option. Be sure to use your Quinnipiac student email address.

Step Two For Medical Students

For Medical Students, complimentary access is provided through the use of your Medical Education number. Please ensure you have set your occupation to Medical Student and this will trigger an offer in the mobile app which will require you to enter your ME number. The system will then use the graduation year indicated in your ME number to provide you with complimentary access to epocrates+ through the end of the graduation year. 

In the event that your expected graduation year has changed, or you are seeing an error with the ME number you have entered, please reach out to support for further assistance. Please make sure to include the name and email registered with epocrates, along with the name of your school, your current expected graduation year and an explanation of what you experienced. Possible reasons for an error could include a graduation year that occurred in the past, or an issue recognizing the school code in the ME number. 

If you do not have an ME number, or are unaware of how to obtain it and you are an MD or DO student, please reach out to: the AMA Unified Service Center at 1-800-621-8335.
