OMEF Testimonials

It was great to get to know people from different parts of the globe who are either students or healthcare workers, their study techniques and their experiences. It has also been great to  share osmosis with other students at my university who didn't know the platform, I've seen how they have gotten better grades and have better studying techniques.

The OMEF program opens new horizons. I get to meet a diverse group of motivated and inspiring professionals. The work is rewarding for both the people who are presented Osmosis and to those who present it.
Lewis
St Joseph University Beirut
I like that Osmosis has the core values they emphasize, as well as, the genuine interest in ensuring students get the best learning opportunity. I enjoyed being part of the behind-the-scenes crew in giving my opinions and being part of bringing about study-resources-change(by introducing Osmosis) at my school. I like that the leaders like Viki, Hillary and the rest of the team are so caring and understanding of our busy schedules and are patient with us. Thank you.

My favorite part of the OMEF program is that it gives me an opportunity to use my skills and directly contribute to something bigger than myself. Filling out surveys and answering questions during meetings gives Osmosis valuable information on how to improve. Also, being able to directly work on Osmosis projects- whether trivia slides, or question writing, or curating playlists- means that I get to be part of building something special. And in the midst of endless studying, it is refreshing to be able to directly contribute to something- and see the immediate improvement.
Ashley
University of Texas Health McGovern
Seeing the achievements of my medical peers all around the world has been very motivating and inspiring. Preparing to lead an event for a big audience encouraged me to really analyse my own advice and think about how to articulate my points better and in the process of doing that it helped my understand them better. Also i loved seeing everyone’s dogs on slack :)
Ali
Monash University
I loved the sense of teamwork, collaboration and community I got from the OMEF program. It allowed me to achieve my personal study goals as well as helping others in my school do so as well.
