Practice Everywhere reminders have moved to the Bluesky platform. Instructions for Apple iOS and Android phones are below. The setup will require installing two apps:
- Bluesky: where you subscribe to the reminders.
- BlueNotify: which is what sets up the notifications on your phone.
To help maintain the Privileged Environment, please do not reply to reminders.
