The Aquifer Difference
Think Outside the Test Prep Platform
Your students don’t need more drawings and games to help them learn and understand. Rote memorization may work on an exam but not for the reality of clinical practice.
A Clinical Learning and Teaching Solution
A Comprehensive Clinical Curriculum
Aquifer is not just another test prep platform. It’s a dynamic virtual learning solution that empowers students to gain mastery over foundational knowledge and clinical reasoning needed to succeed in practice and on high-stakes exams.
Aquifer leverages engaging and highly realistic virtual patient encounters with robust course content and an innovative formative assessment system, all delivered on an AI-enhanced learning platform (Aqueduct®) that allows students to learn at their own pace, receive individualized formative feedback, and grow their skills in a safe environment.
Trusted Content by the Nation's Best Educators
Aquifer offers the most comprehensive, up-to-date and trusted source of clinical learning in healthcare. Our award-winning, evidence-based curriculum, courses, and assessments are developed, reviewed, and updated by our Educators Consortium in partnership with nationally-recognized health professions education organizations.
Operating as a non-profit with a singular mission to deliver a superior healthcare education, Aquifer has earned the trust of the vast majority of U.S. medical schools, and a growing number of PA and NP programs.
