So when it comes to making sure that the content on Osmosis is timely, relevant, and accurate, we don&#8217;t mess around! Check out the news about our freshly updated questions, quiz builder, and video realignment.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s been a very productive year at Osmosis, and we\u2019re happy to share that our team has completed a question quality review, revision, and update of the Osmosis question bank. A thorough audit of thousands of board-style questions, the goal of the review was to ensure that every question is patient-first, inclusive, and aligned with what students need to know to be successful on their boards and exams. We even timed the update in-between terms to lessen the impact on our learners, ensuring that students have only high-quality items in their Osmosis quizzes as they start the new year (and new term).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here\u2019s what to expect!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"New_high-quality_questions\"><\/span>New high-quality questions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More than 3,800 new, high-quality questions are being added to the Osmosis video library, including board-style questions accompanying Osmosis videos on Foundational Sciences (including Microbiology, Physiology, Biostatistics &amp; Epidemiology, etc.), organ systems, the USMLE\/COMLEX library \u201clearn pages\u201d and within our Quiz Builder. The questions have been purposefully updated to help contextualize learning, reflect the appropriate style and level of difficulty, include more inclusive language, and represent diverse patient encounters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a result, approximately 2,000 of our older, lower-quality questions will be retired on December 22, 2022, which may affect the experiences of some of our returning learners. However, the good news is that those items have been updated by other, more timely content!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"988\" height=\"737\" src=\"https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/09\/step-2-question-builder.png\" alt=\"Osmosis USMLE Step 2 question quiz builder\" class=\"wp-image-1238\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/09\/step-2-question-builder.png 988w, https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/09\/step-2-question-builder.png?resize=300,224 300w, https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/09\/step-2-question-builder.png?resize=768,573 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 988px) 100vw, 988px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"New_quiz_builder_experience_and_thoroughly_revised_question_bank\"><\/span>New quiz builder experience and thoroughly revised question bank<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Osmosis quiz builder makes it easy for learners to build custom quizzes based on their specific needs. All of the Osmosis questions have been reviewed, updated, and re-categorized to align with Step 1\/Pre-clinical\/Foundational Sciences and Step 2\/Clinical Practice quiz categories to better correspond to our learner\u2019s education needs. As of December 22, 2022, the old Quiz Builder tool will be retired, and replaced by the new and improved version. (Curious?

We\u2019ve also included quick recall questions to support learning essential anatomy concepts, and we\u2019re adding hundreds of amazing new Step 2 Clinical Practice questions to the site in Spring 2023, and we can\u2019t wait to see how they work for you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All of these changes are now live for the Osmosis MD\/DO library, which means the navigation might look slightly different across Osmosis due to content updates to videos that are applicable for all of our learners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thanks for checking out today\u2019s update!
