! AVD access is offered to all SOM IS-supported faculty, staff and students. We also offer Remote Desktop (RDP), which allows you to connect directly to your work computer from home. You must have a valid reason to connect to your specific computer as opposed to the AVD. To seek approval for RDP, please email the SOM IS HelpDesk at [email protected]. Several clinical departments also manage their own AVD environments that are specifically tailored to their departments' needs. If you belong to a department with its own IT support group [see list here], ask about availability.
