Connect with Aquifer at STFM 2026 in Charlotte

The Aquifer team is heading to the 2026 STFM Conference on Medical Student Education, January 29 - February 1, in Charlotte, NC—and we hope to see you there!

Visit Our Booth

Stop by for live demonstrations and conversations with our team. Whether you're working to standardize clinical experiences across multiple rotation sites, looking for better ways to teach social determinants of health, or searching for assessment tools that help students learn rather than just measure performance, we're here to help.

At the booth, you can explore Aquifer Family Medicine's 40 virtual patient cases aligned with STFM's clerkship curriculum, see how Calibrate and PracticeSmart assessments support self-directed learning and help students identify knowledge gaps, and learn about our expanding course library—including new OB/GYN and Psychiatry cases and assessments.

We know you're balancing patient care, teaching responsibilities, and the challenge of ensuring every student gets meaningful clinical exposure regardless of where they rotate. We'd love to hear what's working for your program and share how Aquifer can support your goals.

Come find us in Charlotte—we can't wait to connect!
