Illustrated videos plus linked assessment items that support teaching and learning

Osmosis makes even the most complex systems simple through expertly illustrated visuals based on learning science. This means your students can grasp the anatomy, pathophysiology, pharmacology and pharmaceutical therapeutics, and physiology of each organ system quickly, and retain the information longer than simply listening to a lecture. Pathophysiology topics are organized based on the NCCPA PANCE® blueprint for easy curricular integration.

Give your students access to the most comprehensive foundational sciences library available today that is organized based on the ARC-PA standards and the NCCPA PANCE® blueprint for easy curricular integration. From Anatomy and Genetic and molecular mechanisms of health and disease, to Pharmacology and Pathophysiology, you'll be confident that your students are able to engage in active learning early-on in their medical career and build a strong foundation of knowledge.

Organ Systems

Foundational Sciences

Help your students think clinically with Osmosis Clinical Sciences content. Expertly scoped to meet the needs of the first-time clinical learner, this collection is built on the latest evidence-based clinical guidelines. Topics are organized based on the PAEA end of rotation exam topic lists and the NCCPA PANCE® blueprint for easy curricular integration. Clinical Sciences will expand its coverage to the core rotation specialties by the end of 2024. 

Clinical Sciences

Preparing students for the PANCE® in a comprehensive and memorable way is part of that mission. Osmosis offers hundreds of basic sciences and clinical sciences videos, and dedicated PANCE® prep questions written by PA educators and aligned to the NCCPA PANCE® blueprint. Your students can feel confident going into exams and retain their knowledge far beyond the test.

PANCE® Review

Osmosis has provided some of the foundational sciences, playlist, and review to get PA students up to par even before starting PA school… it has helped us to keep them engaged, get them refreshed on micro, and molecular, and genetics, and anatomy and then after they completed that, they are so fluent with it.

Physician assistant students love learning by Osmosis

Osmosis has really catered to my learning style making it easier to comprehend material and remember complex subjects. I love everything about Osmosis including the presentation of data, the format, and the links to additional resources, like Picmonic!

Max Carter

The videos are amazing at making complex topics stick and make sense.

Mark Penaranda

The Osmosis videos help simplify things and are a great complement to the material I'm given in class. I also like the idea of the flashcards and the daily repetition that complement the videos.
