Connect with Aquifer at Academic Internal Medicine Week in Seattle

Written by Matthew Perkins | Apr 15, 2026 9:37:55 PM

How do you assess clinical reasoning when AI can write the H&P? How do you identify a struggling learner before it's too late? How do you standardize what students learn when every clinical site is different?

These are the questions keeping IM educators up at night. And they're exactly what we'll be talking about at Academic Internal Medicine Week (April 19-22) in Seattle.

Stop by the Aquifer booth (#119) to connect with our team and explore how programs across the country are solving some of the most persistent challenges in clerkship education.

What We'll Be Talking About


Clinical reasoning you can actually assess. 

  • With AI tools readily available to students, traditional assessments no longer tell the whole story. Aquifer's AI-powered summary statement feedback and the Clinical Decision-Making Exam (CDME) give you and your students objective, reliable insight into how your students are actually thinking, not just what they can produce.

Consistent, comprehensive IM education across every site.

  • Aquifer Internal Medicine's 36 interactive virtual patient cases are built directly on the CDIM clerkship curriculum, so every student gets the same high-quality exposure to core presentations, regardless of where they rotate. Fill gaps, standardize learning, and meet LCME requirements without adding to faculty workload.

Early identification and support for struggling learners.

  • Aquifer cases build the diagnostic thinking students need for intern year, while PracticeSmart's 1,000+ question bank keeps board preparation integrated throughout the clerkship. Plus, Calibrate gives educators and students timely, specific insight into their thinking without requiring faculty to review every question or case individually.

A growing curriculum, built around your needs.

  • New OB/GYN cases are available, with a full Psychiatry course in development. Aquifer's custom course creation tool makes it easy to pull cases from across the library and assign them exactly where they fit in your curriculum. And Aquifer AI is opening new possibilities for how virtual learning can support your students. (aquifer.org/aquifer-ai)
