Note : RealPlayer is required for viewing video segments. These video segments are very large and are intended for download from the computers in the University Health Sciences Library, attempting to download them from a remote location could prove to be rather maddening. Each video does have audio, so headphones (available at the media desk) should be used when viewing them in the library.
