UpToDate Reduced Rates
Johns Hopkins-affiliated physicians, residents, fellows and
medical students may purchase at reduced rates a personal
subscription to UptoDate, which can no longer be accessed
remotely from off campus by using RAUL or VPN.
The cost for physicians is $395, which is $100 off the
regular new rate of $495. The deadline to sign up at this
reduced rate is Sept. 30. Orders can be placed directly at
www.uptodate.com/outreach.
Residents, fellows and medical students who want a
personal subscription can receive a reduced rate by
ordering as part of a trainee group. Trainees ordering 10
or more subscriptions qualify for a special program price
of $145 each (plus shipping). The deadline for the group
trainee rate is Aug. 31. Instructions on organizing and
ordering for a trainee group can be found at

JHU Host Family Program
The Host Family Program is designed to welcome incoming
Johns Hopkins students to the Baltimore community and ease
their adjustment to a new environment. The program, which
depends on alumni, faculty, staff, and friends of Johns
Hopkins, is managed by the Office of Alumni Relations and
the Baltimore Alumni Chapter's Host Family Committee.
Hosting a student provides opportunities for both the
host family and student to meet and develop long-lasting
and meaningful friendships. Participation by alumni and
students is voluntary and getting involved is easy: Sign up
online at
www.alumni.jhu.edu/hostfamily.
There has been an overwhelming response from incoming
students this year, and help is needed.
For more information, call the Alumni Office at
410-516-0363 or e-mail
alumni@jhu.edu.
