UMLS Registration required to download files
Viewing and searching the terminology within our browser does NOT require registration. You only need to accept the License presented when you enter our Browser area. But if you want to download and work with the native SNOMED extension files, you must register for a license with National Library of Medicine's UMLS. We use their authentication service to verify that you are eligible to download SNOMED derivatives.
