The Aquifer Student Advisory Group is a national board of medical and health professions students created to provide essential feedback on Aquifer’s learning tools.
Helping Build the Best Possible Tools for Clinical Learning
Aquifer is in the process of developing new assessments, Integrated Illness Scripts, cases, and other learning tools. Student voices and ideas are critical to ensure that our solutions provide the most value to students.
Student Advisory Group members are invited to preview and provide honest, in-depth feedback on Aquifer’s current and developing learning tools, designed to be used in medical and health professions programs across the country. Feedback from this group will be used to optimize the technology and content in our tools, inform communications, and develop training resources.
Leadership
The Student Advisory Group will work closely with the medical educators of the Aquifer Student Engagement Group, a working group of the Aquifer Educators Consortium, along with the teams developing Aquifer’s new learning tools. The Aquifer Student Engagement Group is led by:
