“It was my first semester so it was all new to me. I found it captivating in every way! I loved how interactive it was, I genuinely enjoyed talking to like-minded people, and making new friendships. Working on the hackathon was the highlight of it, and participating in other challenges brought us all closer. It was truly a blessing and it helped me de-stress during my last semester at university.”

“Participating in the OHLI programme this past year has been incredibly enriching. I've connected with like-minded students globally, explored new developments in medical education, and engaged in fascinating healthcare discussions. As a medical student, I've grown professionally by building my network and personally by embracing new challenges. A highlight was being invited as a panellist for an online Elsevier discussion on the evolving role of AI in medical education – just one of the many opportunities arising from the programme. I’d highly recommend the OHLI if you’re seeking a supportive community of healthcare students who embody the Osmosis values, and the chance to represent them yourself!”
