Deciding on Technology for Medical School

At Einstein, students use a range of technology, with the majority using Apple MacBooks, iPads, Windows laptops, Surface tablets, or a combination of both. Consider asking around or trying out a friend’s tablet before making a costly commitment.

The best advice is to use what works best for you, or whatever you think you will be most comfortable with. You will not be at a disadvantage with one versus another, it’s dependent on how efficiently and effectively you use these devices that make the biggest difference.

Outlook Email

Due to HIPAA, you can only access your Einstein email in the web browser or by using Microsoft Outlook on desktop/mobile. This means you cannot access your Einstein email via the default iOS mail app, Gmail app, etc. You will be sent instructions on how to set this up from IT during your onboarding at Einstein (requires Microsoft InTune app in several security requirements).

Class Schedule

One45 is the official master class schedule that is published here: https://einstein.one45.com/one.php?outputter=calendarOutputter&purpose=displayPublicOverallCurricCalenda r&group_id=80&sched_type=public_curric

Use the One45 calendar to plan your studying, weekend trips, vacations, and more as this will always be the most up-to-date resource for students.

However, to sync your class schedule to your phone, use the Calendar function in Canvas to find the calendar subscription link and add it to your preferred calendar app. This will allow your calendar to automatically sync and update when changes are made.
