The Challenge Facing DO Programs Today

Clinical education is becoming harder to standardize. Students encounter different patients, different expectations, and different levels of support.
Yet programs are responsible for ensuring patients are kept at the center of education and every graduate is practice-ready.

Aquifer cases simulate clinical reasoning, charging students with thinking like a doctor. Aquifer helps us provide consistency to our students. When we are reviewed for accreditation, we can say confidently that our students are gaining exposure to key conditions by completing Aquifer cases, even if they aren’t able to see those patients in the clinic. There’s really nothing else out there like this.

I appreciate the explanations and integrated questions within the cases! It also helps me go through differentials more efficiently as a future provider and understand why some differentials are less likely compared to others.
DO Student
I really value the ability to learn medicine as a case unfolds. Often times on clerkships there is no time for teaching, or teaching is done at a different time than when the patient is fresh in your mind.
DO Student
I love that students get different experiences depending on which hospital and which physician they rotate with. Aquifer allows for a more even playing field and has taught me things that I did not learn or didn't pay attention to during my in-person rotations. Now I am more aware and more knowledgable.
