Aquifer High Value Care Real-World Learning Activities

Embedded in the Educator Guide for this course, you'll find suggestions for real-world active learning strategies for every case, including fully-developed group sessions and suggested discussion questions.

Aquifer Diagnostic Excellence Active Learning Classroom Strategies

Each of the six cases in this course each includes activities designed as 60-minute classroom sessions. Classroom strategies include a rich array of activities, reflection questions for discussion, worksheets, and more.

Aquifer Social Determinants of Health

The Social Determinants of Health Active Learning Session focuses on reinforcing and extending concepts presented in the SDOH Cases to another scenario and, if applicable, the learners' own experiences. The session is designed to take 60 minutes.

Aquifer Telemedicine

The Aquifer Telemedicine Educator Guide provides an overview of the course pedagogy and integration strategies, as well as a description of each of the four cases.

Aquifer Case Analysis Tool

The Aquifer Case Analysis Tool is a structured worksheet for students to complete as they work through an Aquifer case, and is designed to enhance the development of clinical reasoning skills. A full guide for course/clerkship directors is included! Although originally built for Aquifer Pediatrics, the Case Analysis Tool can be used with any Aquifer case.

Aquifer Radiology Flipped Classroom Workshops

Aquifer Radiology Flipped Classroom Workshops are available for 18 cases with speaker notes. Each workshop, designed to be completed in a 60-90 minute session, includes a PowerPoint with images and annotations, speaker notes, and a facilitator guide.

Aquifer Pediatrics Active Learning Modules

Aquifer Pediatrics Active Learning Modules cover pediatric immunizations, fever, patient safety, and child development. These application exercises, complete with facilitation guides, have been thoughtfully prepared to minimize teacher preparation time and maximize learner achievement.

Aquifer Pediatrics Questions for Further Consideration

Aquifer Pediatrics Questions for Further Consideration extend student learning beyond the cases. This resource can be used by assigning the same application questions to teams, or assigning similar but different questions to different groups and having students teach each other at the end.

Integrated Illness Scripts

Take cognitive integration to the next level.

Activity Cards

If your program has access to Integrated Illness Scripts, you can find deep resources in the Sciences Educator Resources section of your Aquifer account to help you make the best use of the scripts. Along with an Educator Guide, you also have access to our Integrated Illness Script Activity Cards.

Integrated Learning Session

Integrated Learning Sessions (ILS) are active learning sessions with step-by-step instructions, writable handouts for students, and answer keys for the educators.  The goal of the ILS is to encourage the transfer of basic science core concepts into clinical practice, improve diagnostic decision-making, and reduce patient harm. These 90-minute sessions include a facilitator's guide, student handout, and answer key.
