This is the project page for the partnership with medical education provider Osmosis.

Background
The Osmosis team focuses on medical education. They have a video series introducing technical medical topics for a general audience. The series is licensed CC-BY SA and they are donating these to Wikipedia for use on popular medical articles.

Purpose
The goal of this project is to enhance highly-viewed articles with rich and instructive media, to improve reader understanding and engagement of the medical topics they are learning about.

Pilot plan

 * 1) Jake will document the pilot plan (this page)
 * 2) James will introduce this concept and sample videos to Wiki Project Medicine
 * 3) WikiProject Medicine will decide if the video content, quality, and type is appropriate for a pilot on 10-50 articles.
 * 4) James will work with Rishi to identity most-needed videos for popular articles (use mobile pageview data and v:1.0 tool)
 * 5) Kyle and Tanner will upload the videos to commons using a compatible format with complete metadata and useful descriptions
 * 6) Fil will assist Kyle in uploading translated subtitles to videos on commons, and place the videos in the first sections of non-English articles (but below the infobox) as appropriate
 * 7) James and other medical editors will place the videos in the first sections of articles (but below the infobox) as appropriate
 * 8) Osmosis will track video views and traffic and report back on changes
 * 9) Additionally, Osmosis will add an edit/comment link to their internal teaching tools which incorporate embedded Wikipedia content
 * 10) Future opportunities may explore using Osmosis learning tools (flash cards/quizzes)
