Connect with Aquifer at COMSEP 2026 in Vancouver

The Aquifer team is heading to the 2026 COMSEP Annual Meeting from March 25-28, 2026, in Vancouver, BC, and we hope to see you there!

Meet Us at the Aquifer Table

Aquifer is proud to be the exclusive exhibitor at COMSEP 2026, and we'll have a dedicated table throughout the entire meeting. Whether you're a longtime subscriber or just getting started with Aquifer, we'd love to connect.

Stop by to explore what's new, ask questions, or simply share what's happening in your program. We're especially interested in hearing about the challenges you're navigating—from clinical reasoning assessment to supporting diverse learners, to preparing students for residency and beyond. Those conversations shape what we build next.

At the table, you can:

• Explore the Aquifer Pediatrics Signature Course, now including Virtual Patient Encounters in select cases, and how it supports your clerkship curriculum
• Get a closer look at Aquifer Calibrate and PracticeSmart assessment tools
• See AI Summary Statement Feedback and other new tools in action
• Learn about our new dashboards and reports
• Hear about new curricula on the horizon, including our expanded OB/GYN course and Psychiatry

Thank You to Our Aquifer Pediatrics Course Board

The sessions highlighted above represent just a glimpse of the talent and dedication within the Aquifer Pediatrics Course Board. These educators are not only leaders in their field, they are the collaborative force behind the Aquifer Pediatrics course itself, bringing their expertise, experience, and passion for medical education directly into the content your students learn from every day. We are deeply grateful for their contributions to Aquifer and to the broader pediatric medical education community.

We'll See You There

We love attending COMSEP and not just because it's a chance to talk about Aquifer. It's a reminder of why this work matters. The educators who show up to COMSEP are the ones asking hard questions, trying new approaches, and genuinely investing in the next generation of pediatricians.

We're grateful to be part of that community. If you're attending, come find us. We'd love to hear from you.
