Osmosis vs SimConverse
The MD plan page lists $149 per three months and $249 for twelve months, with a 24-month option at about $17 per month, and plans auto-renew unless canceled. It lists 1,700+ videos and 2,700+ Step 1-style questions. A medical student on the MD plan buys exam review, and Osmosis videos are also used inside Elsevier's Sherpath nursing courses. Plans are cut by degree program: MD, DO, PA, NP and RN.
Faculty license SimConverse, which makes it a different purchase from a student plan. Learners talk with AI patients and then write SOAP notes, ISBAR handovers or referral letters that the platform marks. A Villanova study of first-year BSN students on therapeutic communication reported a nonstatistically significant advantage for the experimental group, with positive qualitative themes.
