As clinical educators, we understand the challenges students face—because we, too, were once in their shoes.
Today’s health professions students face an unprecedented volume and velocity of clinical information that can feel like they’re drinking from a firehose. Learning management systems, digital test prep guides, and generative AI deliver more data and content than ever before, supporting the passive recall of facts at the sacrifice of active analysis.
When it comes to clinical cases, rote memorization of symptoms, signs and treatments is not enough. Understanding the why behind medical presentations improves clinical reasoning and decision-making for a deeper understanding of conditions and better patient care. It also means clinicians can reasonably get to a treatment without having been explicitly taught that treatment.
That’s where we come in.
Our rich courses, formative assessments and pedagogical approach are created by our Educators Consortium, together with Aquifer staff, and delivered through an innovative and highly flexible AI-enhanced learning platform that allows students to learn at their own pace while giving educators total course control.
Our Mission
We are a mission-driven non-profit organization dedicated to delivering the best health care education through collaborative development and research into innovative, high-impact virtual teaching and learning methods.
From memorization to mastery through deep learning
Unlike other online study systems, Aquifer provides medical and health professions learners with a powerful, proven framework from which to scaffold knowledge and bridge the gap between basic science and clinical learning.
Our unique approach helps students develop a deep understanding of the “why” underlying each condition, enhancing their ability to recall and retain information across the entire spectrum of the health professions curriculum.
The result? Clinical competency, improved clinical decision-making skills, and improved diagnostic accuracy, leading to better patient outcomes and experience.
