It is the second-largest Hispanic serving university in the US with a focus on serving the local community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the main program goals is to \u201ccreate a supportive environment for faculty and staff that promotes continued educational development, ingenuity, scholarship, and collaboration,\u201d shares Program Director, Department Chair and Clinical Associate Professor, Dr. Juliann Garza-Castillo PhD, PA-C, CRC. With this in mind, the program emphasizes lifelong learning and student self-evaluation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Uniquely, this starts with a 10 week Academy for Success before students even begin PA school to ensure all students have a foundation for success. In this program students get weekly check-ins and begin to meet classmates and faculty from across the program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Challenge<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>F<\/strong><strong>ind<\/strong><strong>ing q<\/strong><strong>uality, <\/strong><strong>trust<\/strong><strong>e<\/strong><strong>d<\/strong><strong> vid<\/strong><strong>e<\/strong><strong>o <\/strong><strong>content<\/strong><strong> that tech-savvy stude<\/strong><strong>nts will <\/strong><strong>enga<\/strong><strong>ge wi<\/strong><strong>th.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">UTRGV\u2019s PA faculty recognize the dramatic shifts in medical education over the past decade with the increasing number of students who often prefer digital mediums. Dr. Juliann Garza and faculty began to realize, \u201cWe needed a platform or additional resource, besides reading from a textbook or article for those types of learners. We needed something that was eye-catching to our visual learners and their attention span.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The pandemic further highlighted the student need for information in digital formats that were accurate, engaging, and concise. Faculty at UTRGV challenged themselves, \u201cHow can we really reach out to that student population that relies on that modality of learning now?\u201d shares Dr. Garza.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Faculty sought engaging, accurate digital resources for pre-work, so that faculty could spend more time on application based activities with students. They spent hours searching the internet and YouTube to find high quality videos that aligned with their class content. One challenge in doing so, they discovered, is that many videos were inaccurate or did not address the topic the way faculty wanted to teach it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Solution<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>I<\/strong><strong>ntegrati<\/strong><strong>ng<\/strong><strong> Osmosis into<\/strong><strong> th<\/strong><strong>e A<\/strong><strong>ca<\/strong><strong>demy for Su<\/strong><strong>ccess to provide students and faculty with<\/strong><strong> <\/strong><strong>comprehensive, accurate, h<\/strong><strong>ig<\/strong><strong>h-quality,<\/strong><strong> <\/strong><strong>cont<\/strong><strong>ent<\/strong><strong> that<\/strong><strong> <\/strong><strong>supp<\/strong><strong>orts<\/strong><strong> struc<\/strong><strong>ture<\/strong><strong>d learn<\/strong><strong>ing, stu<\/strong><strong>de<\/strong><strong>nt<\/strong><strong> engagement,<\/strong><strong> <\/strong><strong>and<\/strong><strong> pr<\/strong><strong>ogr<\/strong><strong>ess tracking.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The academy, created to set the foundation for UTRGV\u2019s PA school, became rooted in Osmosis content. Faculty could assign playlists each week for students to watch and have peace of mind that the content is reliably accurate and designed to engage students by utilizing evidence based learning science principles. \u201cBy using Osmosis we know that we\u2019re reaching out, giving students what they need; short informative accurate information and data, without having to pick and choose or check for validity,\u201d shares Dr. Garza.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"wp-block-group alignwide has-sand-background-color has-background is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--large);padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--small);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--small)\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-f15824f9 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"314\" height=\"314\" src=\"https:\/\/facultyhub.elsevier.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/29\/2026\/06\/picture1juliann-garza-castillo.jpg?w=314\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-523\" style=\"width:310px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/facultyhub.elsevier.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/29\/2026\/06\/picture1juliann-garza-castillo.jpg 314w, https:\/\/facultyhub.elsevier.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/29\/2026\/06\/picture1juliann-garza-castillo.jpg?resize=150,150 150w, https:\/\/facultyhub.elsevier.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/29\/2026\/06\/picture1juliann-garza-castillo.jpg?resize=300,300 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 314px) 100vw, 314px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-left has-graphite-color has-text-color has-tiempos-text-font-family\" style=\"margin-top:0;margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--small);font-style:italic;font-weight:400\">\"By using Osmosis we know that we\u2019re reaching out, giving students what they need: short informative accurate information and data, without having to pick and choose or check for validity.\u201d<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Juliann Garza Castillo, PhD, PA-C, CRC<\/strong>, Program Director, Department Chair, and Clinical Associate Professor<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Faculty can easily access the videos associated with their courses through the platform navigation. Dr. Julie Garza says this was a major reason she thought Osmosis would be a good fit for the program, \u201cThe ease, the playlists, and organization of it was very user friendly. I felt our faculty would not be overwhelmed by it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many other features became equally important. Transcripts allow them to read quickly through the content to see what the students would learn in each video so they can prepare any of their own questions or assign Osmosis questions associated with the video. Faculty can also track student progress through the analytics dashboard to ensure students are watching assigned playlists and assess student\u2019s knowledge throughout the course. \u201cBeing able to track students was really important for us to keep them engaged.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Result<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Expa<\/strong><strong>nd<\/strong><strong>ed u<\/strong><strong>sage<\/strong><strong> t<\/strong><strong>hrou<\/strong><strong>ghout th<\/strong><strong>e<\/strong><strong> PA<\/strong><strong> program from <\/strong><strong>th<\/strong><strong>e Aca<\/strong><strong>demy<\/strong><strong> of <\/strong><strong>Suc<\/strong><strong>c<\/strong><strong>ess<\/strong><strong> to gr<\/strong><strong>ad<\/strong><strong>ua<\/strong><strong>t<\/strong><strong>ion<\/strong><strong> d<\/strong><strong>ay.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After completing the Academy for Success, students are \u201cso fluent with Osmosis, they become reliant,\u201d shares Dr. Garza. Osmosis videos help them develop a good overview before beginning a course and to be more prepared to engage during classes. Students started asking for Osmosis videos to be tied to every course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Osmosis quickly became crucial, not only as a starting point for the curriculum, but also an integral part of student remediation plans. With the program\u2019s focus on self-evaluation, any student who is struggling creates an individualized remediation plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Leveraging Osmosis videos into this program helped engage students and allowed faculty to assess student\u2019s mastery of the material. After completing a remediation program using Osmosis, students consistently say, \u201cI wish I had taken advantage of this from the get-go.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It wasn\u2019t just students who enjoyed using Osmosis. Once faculty learned about Osmosis playlist features, they were hooked. \u201cWe kind of addicted to making playlists and it was fun, \u201c explains Dr. Garza, \u201cAs faculty became more reliant on it, then they are like, \u2018actually I want to use the quizzes and I want to see the analytics of who\u2019s watching and how in detail.\u2019\u201d Dr. Garza shared that faculty had fun exploring the library of videos and the ease of access saved hours of time combing through the internet for reliable, high-quality content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When asked if she would recommend Osmosis to other PA programs, Dr. Garza was emphatically positive. \u201cTake that leap; it is definitely worth it. The user-friendliness, really being able to get to the students on their level, and the animations \u2014 it definitely will be worth it for you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"wp-block-group alignwide has-sand-background-color has-background is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--large);padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--small);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--small)\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-left has-graphite-color has-text-color has-tiempos-text-font-family\" style=\"margin-top:0;margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--small);font-style:italic;font-weight:400\">\u201cTake that leap; it is definitely worth it.
