All new medical and physician assistant students are required to have a laptop that meets these minimum system requirements. We base these specifications on many factors including the individual requirements of our curricular software and our institutional cybersecurity standards.
Based on our experience supporting current and former students, we highly encourage you to begin the program with a laptop that meets our recommendations.

ASUS laptops with the "מסך מסך" feature, which allows the touchpad to be used as a secondary screen, are not compatible with the NBME secure browser, which is the software we use for high-stakes examinations. ASUS laptops with a touchscreen monitor are also known to have compatibility issues with the NBME secure browser.
We don’t recommend that medical students who own one of these laptops go out and buy another model, but if you are shopping for a new laptop, avoid ASUS models with the a “ScreenPad” or a touchscreen monitor.
A high-speed home internet connection is highly recommended (12 Mbps download, 1 Mbps upload minimum). When using Wi-Fi at home, please secure your wireless network with a password.
