Join Aquifer at the 2nd Annual ARC-PA Conference

July 7-11, 2026 | Minneapolis, MN

Meeting ARC-PA's 6th Edition Standards for clinical education is no small task. PA program leaders are navigating complex requirements for supervised clinical practice experiences, competency documentation, and standardized learning across varied sites, all while managing the daily demands of running a program. The 2nd Annual ARC-PA Conference is designed to help, and Aquifer will be there to support the conversation.

Find us at Booth 104 at the Hyatt Regency Minneapolis, where you can explore how Aquifer supports accreditation readiness, connect with our team, and learn about opportunities to contribute to the future of PA education as an Assessment Author or Associate Editor.

Built for ARC-PA Standards

Aquifer's virtual patient cases and courses are built to help PA programs address the 6th Edition ARC-PA standards. Here's how:

• Standard B3.03: Our Content Library makes it straightforward to identify cases covering preventive, acute, and chronic conditions across the lifespan, filling gaps that clinical sites can't always provide.

• SCPE standardization: Aquifer cases align directly with SCPE focus areas including Primary Care, Pediatrics, and Internal Medicine, with Surgery on the way.

• Competency documentation: Integrating SOAP notes and using built-in assessment tracking give programs concrete data to demonstrate student outcomes.

• Hybrid SCPE models: Virtual cases provide a reliable, standardized layer of learning that complements in-person clinical experience.
  
  

Resources and Strategy Map

Aquifer's PA Affinity Group has updated our Resources and Strategies Map covering more than 70 difficult-to-teach ARC-PA topics, mapping them to the relevant ARC-PA Standards (6th edition), PAEA Core Competencies for New PA Graduates, and corresponding Aquifer content and teaching strategies.
