Most importantly, we&#8217;ve also&nbsp;<strong>aligned the new content to the six population foci<\/strong>&nbsp;so you can focus on the content they need and want.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_types_of_Clinical_Sciences_videos_are_available\"><\/span>What types of Clinical Sciences videos are available? &nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are three types of videos in the Clinical Sciences library: &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>1.&nbsp;<\/strong><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/learn\/Approach_to_chest_pain:_Clinical_sciences\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Approach to Presentation<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Guides you through the management of a patient presenting with a specific symptom (e.g., dyspnea), sign (e.g., jaundice), laboratory finding (e.g., hyponatremia), or suspected broad disease (e.g., congenital heart defect). After first identifying differential diagnoses, you&#8217;ll make your way through the clinical reasoning process to arrive at the correct diagnosis using the patient&#8217;s history, physical assessment, and diagnostic results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>2.&nbsp;<\/strong><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/learn\/Acute_coronary_syndrome:_Clinical_sciences\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Approach to Disease<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Walks you through the management of a patient with a specific disease or condition. Reviews the basic definition of the disease or condition, explains the pathophysiology, discusses anticipated history and physical assessment findings and diagnostic results, and explains the management of care. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>3. Health Promotion and Preventative Health<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Helps you navigate your way through health promotion and prevention strategies so you can empower your patients and provide appropriate preventive care.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"496\" width=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/09\/adult-gerontology.png?w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3089\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/09\/adult-gerontology.png 2544w, https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/09\/adult-gerontology.png?resize=300,145 300w, https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/09\/adult-gerontology.png?resize=768,372 768w, https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/09\/adult-gerontology.png?resize=1024,496 1024w, https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/09\/adult-gerontology.png?resize=1536,744 1536w, https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/09\/adult-gerontology.png?resize=2048,992 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_does_the_Clinical_Sciences_library_differ_from_other_content_on_Osmosis\"><\/span>How does the Clinical Sciences library differ from other content on Osmosis? &nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Osmosis content has always been developed based on the&nbsp;<strong>principles of learning science<\/strong>&nbsp;so we can make learning approachable and enjoyable for learners. One of the learning science principles is &#8220;<strong>content chunking<\/strong>,&#8221; which breaks difficult-to-understand concepts down into bite-sized pieces that are<strong>&nbsp;easier to comprehend.<\/strong>&nbsp;To do this, our content team has developed a variety of video libraries, from Basic Sciences like anatomy and physiology to Clinical Sciences where the foundational knowledge you&#8217;ve worked so hard to learn is applied clinically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let&#8217;s look at an example of the Clinical Sciences library using pneumonia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pneumonia is a broad topic, and if we made one single video covering all of the information on pneumonia, it would be as long as a full-length movie and overwhelming to study! However, if we break it down into bite-sized chunks of information, you can build on each concept as you progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"677\" width=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/09\/lung-illustration.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3088\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/09\/lung-illustration.jpg 1185w, https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/09\/lung-illustration.jpg?resize=300,198 300w, https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/09\/lung-illustration.jpg?resize=768,507 768w, https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/09\/lung-illustration.jpg?resize=1024,677 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We recommend you use the Osmosis anatomy and physiology videos in Foundational Sciences to understand the basics of lung anatomy and function. The Pathology Review series helps you understand how certain pathologies affect the lungs. The Pharmacology series focuses on the mechanisms of certain medications used to treat lung pathologies and how they could affect your patient. Once you understand those essentials, you can view the Clinical Sciences content on pneumonia to guide you through the differential diagnoses of a patient with a pneumonia presentation, the clinical diagnosis of pneumonia, and the clinical management of a patient with pneumonia. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_can_the_Clinical_Sciences_library_help_me_with_my_studies\"><\/span>How can the Clinical Sciences library help me with my studies? &nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During clinicals, you&#8217;ll have a wide range of tasks, ranging from providing patient care to attending simulations and lectures, all while balancing studying, work, and your personal life. Our intention is to help you&nbsp;<strong>feel more confident<\/strong>&nbsp;and support your&nbsp;<strong>success in clinicals and exams<\/strong>&nbsp;by making learning more accessible and straightforward. That&#8217;s why we&#8217;ve created&nbsp;<strong>decision-making trees<\/strong>&nbsp;to pair with new Clinical Sciences videos to guide your learning using clinical algorithms with the latest&nbsp;<strong>evidence-based guidelines<\/strong>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<strong>assessment items<\/strong>. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>1. Decision-making trees:<\/strong>&nbsp;These are clinical algorithms or flowcharts, and they&#8217;re based on current evidence-based clinical guidelines and at the right level for students in clinicals. Use them as a quick way to review or as a handy refresher. Seeing a patient in the clinic or on the wards and need to present to your preceptor? Take a quick peek at a decision-making tree on your Osmosis mobile app to guide you in taking a patient history, doing a physical examination, exploring differential diagnoses, and next steps in management. Need a quick refresher before your next exam? This is how you can review high-yield concepts in an organized way.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"814\" height=\"782\" src=\"https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/09\/approach-to-chest-pain.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3087\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/09\/approach-to-chest-pain.jpg 814w, https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/09\/approach-to-chest-pain.jpg?resize=300,288 300w, https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/09\/approach-to-chest-pain.jpg?resize=768,738 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 814px) 100vw, 814px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>2.

Take your understanding further with additional explanations at each point of the decision-making tree, and learn more Clinical Pearls and High Yield Facts. Watch a video on the mobile app on your commute or between patients to get ready for the next clinical day, or watch videos at home to prepare for clinicals and exams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"584\" width=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/09\/videos.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3086\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/09\/videos.jpg 1373w, https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/09\/videos.jpg?resize=300,171 300w, https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/09\/videos.jpg?resize=768,438 768w, https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/09\/videos.jpg?resize=1024,584 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>3.
