NEW: Single SignOn for DynaMed - Use Your Ascension Credentials

DynaMed Single Sign-On - Use Your Ascension Credentials

Starting Feb. 1, 2025,  access to DynaMed will transition away from a Personal User Account (PUA) to Single Sign-On (SSO) using your Ascension credentials for both new and existing users.

DynaMed is designed to provide evidence-based answers for clinicians at the point of care. 

Why it matters: 

• Faster access: SSO reduces the need to enter usernames and passwords, allowing quicker access and answers to your questions.

• Enhanced security: SSO ensures your credentials are recognized by your organization.

• Personalized experience: SSO links directly into your personal profile, enabling you to accrue CME/MOC credits and quickly access recent topics and bookmarks. Your previous Personal User Account is separate and will not be merged.

Continuing education impact:

With this transition, you no longer need your previously created PUA. However you will still have access to it to redeem any CMEs you have earned. Your old personal user account will be accessible until April 30. Learn how to redeem CMEs here [video].

Website instructions:

The following hyperlink can be used to access the new SSO

Mobile app instructions: 

1. If you have already downloaded the DynaMed mobile app and logged in with your previous PUA, please log out and log back in using your SSO credentials for a seamless experience.

2. If you haven’t downloaded the app yet, search for “DynaMed” in the iOS App Store or Google Play Store. Select “ASCENSION” as your organization from the drop-down menu, click “Go” and enter your Ascension credentials. Note: You must be connected to WiFi or use your mobile data plan to use the app.

Clinical platforms instructions:

SSO links will soon be updated on clinical platforms in stages by market. Until then please use the above noted hyperlink to access DynaMed with your SSO, which is ready for you to use and bookmark.

UMN LibGuide on finding missing federal data

• The main guide is Finding Government Information during the 2025 Administration Transition.

Nature also provides rapid, authoritative, insightful, and arresting news and interpretation of topical and coming trends affecting science, scientists, and the wider public.

Nature's Mission Statement
