The collaboration with Osmosis formally ended as of Mar 29th, 2018. The page is kept for historical reasons aswell as the fact that some of us on Misplaced Pages are still interested in the subject of video overviews of diseases. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 22:28, 29 March 2018 (UTC)

Background

The Osmosis team focuses on medical education. They have a video series introducing technical medical topics for a general audience. The series is licensed CC-BY SA 4.0 which allows there placement on Commons and use within Misplaced Pages articles. Also allows there modification.

The goal of this project is to enhance highly-viewed articles with rich and instructive media, to improve reader understanding and engagement of the medical topics they are learning about.
