Updated Radiology Resources & An Opportunity

Written by Katie Hamon | Aug 6, 2026, 7:49:34 PM

Your radiology curriculum got an upgrade, and there are new ways to help shape it.

 

An Interactive Curriculum Built Around AMSER Objectives

As the NBME increases the imaging component of USMLE exams, educators’ need for resources that help students develop the clinical reasoning skills they need, not just image recognition, continues to grow.

Designed to address true clinical learning, Aquifer Radiology's 21 interactive virtual patient cases are built around AAR and AMSER learning objectives and developed using ACR Appropriateness Criteria. Their virtual cases are evidence-based, peer-reviewed, and allow for consistency across institutions—regardless of geography or clinical site access.

Beyond cases, Aquifer offers formative assessment through Calibrate, self-assessment questions for every case, a full educator resource library, and robust reporting through the Aqueduct platform.

Build the Next Generation of Assessment Questions

Aquifer is recruiting faculty to serve as Assessment Authors, writing and reviewing multiple-choice questions tied directly to virtual patient case content. Your work directly fuels Calibrate and PracticeSmart, the formative and self-assessment tools used by students across the country.

  • What You Get:
    A detailed portfolio letter and public recognition of your contributions at the end of each year—a meaningful addition to your educator CV.
  • What's Involved:
    A two-year commitment that includes an online certification course in best practices for writing and reviewing questions, writing 5 or reviewing 15–20 questions per cycle across 4–5 cycles per year, and participation in group reviews and 1–2 Zoom calls per quarter.
