Aquifer Obstetrics & Gynecology
In collaboration with the Association of Professors of Gynecology and Obstetrics (APGO), Aquifer Obstetrics & Gynecology covers topics recommended by leading OBGYN clerkship directors, powered by Aqueduct, Aquifer’s teaching and learning platform.
The Aquifer Obstetrics & Gynecology case set covers topics recommended by leading Obstetrics & Gynecology clerkship directors and places students in realistic patient scenarios, developing their clinical reasoning skills. The cases foster self-directed and independent study, centers clinical problem-solving, and teaches an evidence-based, patient-centered approach to patient care.

Aquifer created the OBGYN case set to health professions students up for success. The United States faces increasing maternal death rates (CDC), with 84% of pregnancy-related deaths deemed preventable by the CDC. (CDC) Outcomes for women of color are even worse (CDC). And 20% of patients who see an OBGYN refer to that individual as their Primary Care Physician (NIH). This positions health care professionals working in the OBGYN space with significant opportunities to improve patient outcomes and experience.

I like that these cases are real-life scenarios and very applicable to the patients I see in clinic with my mentors. I feel just by doing these cases in a few days, my experience in family medicine has improved by leaps and bounds and my mentors can see a marked improvement and change in me, even down to how I interact with patients and present myself. Thank you so much Aquifer, you're a lifesaver!
