About Users' Guides Interactive (UGI)

In order to meet the needs of students, practitioners, and teachers, the Users' Guides collaborators have created three levels of Users' Guides Interactive (UGI). Offered as separate Internet-based subscription services, the UGI products contain all content, markup, and technology embedded in the Users' Guides CD-ROM, but are optimized for use on the Internet. Each level of UGI contains additional content and technology not included in the textbook or CD-ROM:

UGI Learner
The Learner offering is an interactive Web site with the full text Users' Guides to the Medical Literature. It serves those who seek expanded Internet content and interactivity to help them understand the Users' Guides. If you already have an account, use the log in button at the top of the page to access the UGI Learner Web site.

UGI Practitioner
The Practitioner offering includes all of the content of UGI Learner delivered through a unique Internet "desktop" that greatly simplifies information access for busy clinicians.

UGI Practitioner serves those who want to put the Users’ Guides to work.
