“No notes for clinical reasoning subjects I find that really disappointing as I wanted to prepare for useless step 2. App of osmosis does work on iPad mainly no proper notes or good facilities to highlight or add notes on app”
Hi Sherin, thanks so much for your feedback! We'd love to hear more of your suggestions, and how we can improve our content. Can you please send us an email to support@osmosis.org? Thanks!
“Generally good but, there is too much repetition in the begining of videos. On the same topic, all videos start with the same pathophysiologic explanation, which is so unnecessary to repeat that much of times.”
“very helpful way to review concepts and get to the core of the topic quickly when preparing for a med school exam. the figures are well drawn, sometimes a little too cutesy, but do a good job demonstrating the material”
“During medical school there seems to be this notion that you must maximise the clinical experience to learn how to become a doctor and this has led to me being sat surrounded by qualified doctors who are all talking absolute jibberish and expecting me to be able to follow. There seems to have been this missed step where the medical schools have forgotten to actually explain pathophysiology in their haste to thrust us into the medical world. For anyone who feels like this, osmosis is the absolute dream. Fast, easy to understand pathophysiology and diagnostic videos with handy explanations that even the most steadfast science avoiders in our ranks can’t help but love. Good questions and useful presentations for all the most high yield areas has given me a much need framework to build my educational career on (not exactly sure what I’m paying the medical school for now but hey ho that’s the world we live in). The price may put you off initially but honestly after having it a week I am already miles ahead of where I would have been without it. As medical educators you must all be commended at osmosis and I will be using you all the way through to finals. Bravo, and keep up the good work”
“Everything is simplified and easier and also very creative. The videos are not too long, so that i don't lose attention. The cases are very helpful. I love the whole structure of this platform :))”
“Loved the concept oriented pedagogy through videos. After reading textbooks, I had lot of doubts in mind which I tend to study by rote learning. Now I am starting to love the process of learning by understanding concepts . One area of improvement is to make India based content too. For example Community medicine , Health issues in India like malnutrition , acute diarrhoea in children etc .”
“I can’t watch the videos on my tv because you don’t allow the app to cast. This is incredibly frustrating for a very expensive program to not allow basic video play to a tv.”
Hi Jacqueline,
Thank you for your feedback. We'll let our product team know and hopefully we can work on adding an option to cast videos in a future update.
“Everything is organized and presented in an amazingly digestible fashion. My only critique of osmosis is that it wasn't marketed better. I've been slogging through endless outside resources throughout my first 1.5 years of med school, but since I found osmosis this has basically been the only one I've used for learning new information/reviewing old info and I've felt it has been completely comprehensive for Step 1 material. Wish I would've found it sooner, but will continue to use this and encourage classmates as well--hoping for the future where students don't have to spend $200,000 for useless phd lectures and can just use something like this. Worth every penny”
“Promote flash cards in package..not available for NP path unless want to pay additionally. Not clearly stated anywhere. Customer service lacking when reached out.”
Hi there, thanks for your feedback. The Flashcards feature is available only for the MD or DO since it is created for the USMLE prep. However, we do add this as a custom feature for other disciplines upon user's request. We already replied to your inquiry. Kindly check your email or send us a follow up through support@osmosis.org. Thanks again! -Sherryl
