This is an overview of medical video related efforts on Wikipedia. Part of the justification for these efforts was a community consultation in 2015 which found rich content such as video was the second highest request by our users.[1]

Release of videos have occurred from a number of sources including:

• Videos from Dr.Mike
• Videos from Osmosis
• Videos from Simpleshow

Videos from the NIH and CDC can be used without a formal arrangement as they are public domain.

• Videos from the NIH
• Videos from the CDC

The collaboration with Osmosis formally ended in March of 2018.

Auto creation of videos based on scripts

Efforts are ongoing to allow the generation of videos automatically based on scripts on WP (see Wikipedia:VideoWiki)

They have released all the code under an open license and put it on Github

These are also based on Wikipedia.[2]

An example of a script with in-line references and images is Wikipedia:Osmosis/Measles

An example of a script with in-line references and slides is Wikipedia:MEDSKL/Acute vision loss

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. Medical editors will place the videos 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)
