Skip the literature review. Get to the treatment.

The point-of-care clinical treatment guides for infectious diseases and pediatric acute care. Distilled by editorial boards of practicing specialists, continuously updated, and trusted by clinicians in over 100 countries.

Two references. One editorial standard.

Each Sanford Guide is purpose-built for its domain — written and continuously updated by a multi-institutional editorial board of practicing clinicians.

Distilled, not diluted.

We believe the best point of care reference gives you exactly what you need, fast. Since 1969, that has been our editorial standard. We distill the vast, evolving body of evidence into a clear answer for patient care.

Treatment recommendations, front and center

Skip the literature review. Sanford Guide pages lead with the management section your colleagues' textbooks bury after epidemiology, microbiology, and pathophysiology. You came to look up treatment — that's what shows up first.

Continuously updated

New FDA approvals, guideline releases, and shifts in clinical practice are evaluated and incorporated by our editorial board on an ongoing basis. Editors work in the product every day. When the evidence moves, the recommendations move with it.

Evidence-based and transparent about it

Recommendations are grounded in primary literature, current guidelines, and the consensus of our editorial board. References are cited throughout, and where the evidence is limited or contested, the editorial board's expert opinion is named and attributed so you know exactly what you're looking at. Read More →

Behind every recommendation is a real expert.

Two distinguished, multi-institutional editorial boards — one for Antimicrobial Therapy, one for Pediatric Acute Care — plus a deep pool of pediatric sub-specialty authors.
