Each year, Osmosis invites learners from our community to join the Osmosis Medical Education Fellowship (OMEF) program. Participants have an incredible opportunity to network with health professional students around the world, host events at their institution, be published on the Osmosis blog, and even have direct access to the Osmosis team so you can have a say in how Osmosis grows. In today&#8217;s blog, we hear from Ashley Kennon, a third-year student whose experienced was transformed by her experience as a member of the OMEF program.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/omef\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Apply today!<\/a><br><\/em><\/strong><br>My name is Ashley Kennon. I am a third-year medical student at UT Health McGovern in Houston, Texas, and a current participant in the Osmosis Medical Education Fellowship (OMEF) program. I discovered Osmosis on YouTube before coming to medical school, and I enjoyed learning about my own health from their colorful animated videos. It wasn\u2019t until my second semester of first year, when my school started organ systems, that I realized Osmosis was also a healthcare education platform. At that point, I set up an account, and began using Osmosis as my favorite go-to study resource. For me, the videos, patient encounter links, and question bank were what made the Osmosis platform my ideal study place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/blog\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"250\" src=\"https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/06\/image_489e3c.png\" alt=\"Try Osmosis for free\" class=\"wp-image-3854\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/06\/image_489e3c.png 700w, https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/06\/image_489e3c.png?resize=300,107 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/blog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"I_believe_in_the_values_behind_Osmosis\"><\/span>I believe in the values behind Osmosis<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I came to medical school because I want to be a good doctor. To me, a good doctor is someone who cares about their patients personally, not just professionally. I try to keep the personal care of patients as a primary focus during my studies by:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Learning about the patient experience of illness, in addition to the medical components of the disease.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Learning and processing medical information with the intention of sharing and explaining that same information to my future patients and their families.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Osmosis stands out to me as the study resource that mostly closely shares my values. On point one, I wanted to learn medicine with a patient focused lens- and Osmosis creates videos for healthcare students that are patient experience-centered. Instead of writing slides with objective bullet points, Osmosis explains an illness by visually demonstrating the symptoms on a model patient. This way, when I am studying, I am not trying to remember a collection of facts\u2014I am remembering a person and the experience they went through. The patient encounter links help with hearing and remembering the patient experience. On some topics, Osmosis has found and included a link to YouTube videos of patients telling their own stories- their health experience in their own words. Patient stories are a powerful tool for learning, both in the mind and in the heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"701\" height=\"468\" src=\"https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/09\/image_b8b107.png\" alt=\"Osmosis illustration of two people talking\" class=\"wp-image-3850\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/09\/image_b8b107.png 701w, https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/09\/image_b8b107.png?resize=300,200 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 701px) 100vw, 701px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Start_with_the_heart\"><\/span>Start with the heart&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To me, \u201cstart with the heart\u201d means letting the things we care about motivate us. By starting with my heart, I try to remember the people whose lives I will touch and heal using the information I am learning. I try to focus on the humanity of medicine to keep my heart caring- and thus keep myself motivated. And I believe Osmosis videos help me to remember the people in the midst of all the medicine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On point two, I wanted to learn medicine with the intention of sharing that information with others- and Osmosis already creates and shares many medical education videos on YouTube for patients and families to learn from. Osmosis is the only resource that I can use both to learn from and to teach with. I imagine the day when I am sitting with a patient and I get to say, \u201cin the same way that I learned about your condition, you will learn about your condition\u2014let\u2019s watch this video together.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-embed-handler wp-block-embed-embed-handler wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"&quot;I learn by Osmosis&quot; from Around the World!\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/enpadU2-FGU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reach_further\"><\/span>Reach further<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To me, \u201creach further\u201d means finding a need and working hard to meet that need. Osmosis thought all people, healthcare students and patients, would benefit from having a visual-based medical education resource, so they worked hard to make the platform a reality. I also believe medical education is important, so I make the most of my spare time in medical school to invest in the OMEF program and my own personal outreach projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When the OMEF program was first announced, I was already an avid daily user of, and huge advocate for, the Osmosis platform. From what I understood, Osmosis was looking for a focus group of healthcare students who could give feedback and recommendations on how the Osmosis platform could continue improving. I wanted to be part of the program for two primary reasons:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>I already admired the Osmosis values and mission\u2014<strong>\u201cEveryone who cares for someone will learn by Osmosis\u201d<\/strong>\u2014and I wanted to be a part of carrying that forward.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>I wanted to be a part of a medical education group that is teaching and sharing in a way that I want to teach and share in the future.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"My_personal_growth_in_the_OMEF_program\"><\/span>My personal growth in the OMEF program<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Over the past three semesters of working with the OMEF program, my primary role as an OMEF has grown and changed. OMEFs give monthly feedback to the Osmosis team through monthly meetings and topic specific surveys. OMEFs are also peer-to-peer advocates, sharing the Osmosis platform with our classmates. And as the Osmosis team has become more familiar with the OMEF team, we have been given the opportunity to help one-on-one with special projects related to the platform. For example, I was part of a small project meant to find new patient experience videos on YouTube to pair with our Osmosis videos. That project has been one of my OMEF highlights\u2014as I mentioned earlier, the patient experience videos were one of the aspects of the Osmosis platform that stood out to me as being patient-centered\u2014and now I was able to directly contribute to expanding that part of the Osmosis platform. It was such a rewarding experience!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"701\" height=\"468\" src=\"https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/09\/image_0f25dc.png\" alt=\"Osmosis illustration of two people appreciating art\" class=\"wp-image-3851\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/09\/image_0f25dc.png 701w, https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/09\/image_0f25dc.png?resize=300,200 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 701px) 100vw, 701px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_future_of_Osmosis\"><\/span>The future of Osmosis<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My hope for the future of Osmosis is that they can continue making and sharing videos for patients and their families. In the same way that the Osmosis platform has developed a comprehensive library of healthcare education videos, I hope that Osmosis will one day release a comprehensive library of patient education videos. Osmosis has the unique opportunity to change and improve the future of patient education by becoming a reliable, accessible, and engaging resource that doctors can routinely share with their patients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My hope for the future of the OMEF program is that Osmosis continues to seek feedback from healthcare students, that the OMEF community continues to strengthen the friendships it has made between students all over the globe, and that the Osmosis team continues to find new ways of including OMEFs in special projects- because we want to be a part of building this great platform.I think Osmosis is great, and I am proud to be part of making it even better!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>About Ashley<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Ashley Kennon is a third-year student at&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/med.uth.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">UTHealth McGovern Medical School<\/a>&nbsp;in Houston, Texas.
