SAFARI

You must be familiar with the recommended web browser that you will use to access the eCurriculums and many other School of Medicine applications.  Not all web browsers are the same and many of the school’s applications have been customized to utilize the advanced features of Internet Explorer for Windows, which are also available in Safari in OS X.

NOTE: Please do not install any Beta software. There is a reason that they are still in beta. They can crash and burn your system. Please ask our Technicians before installing new software and ask for suggestions.
