Aquifer wants to hear about your experience with our clinical learning tools and seek critical feedback on how AI can support your clinical learning. Your insights are valuable as we continue to develop and improve our platform and tools to learn clinical reasoning. Aquifer is currently used in the vast majority of medical schools and a growing number of health professions programs. Thus, we want to hear from students with a wide range of experiences and seek clinical MD, DO, PA, and NP students.
If interested, please take a few minutes to complete the application below. Selected students will be invited to attend three (3) one-hour sessions with members of our Consortium of health professions educators and Aquifer staff. Upon fulfilling all requirements, a letter of recognition will be provided at the end of the working group.
If selected to participate, Aquifer staff will reach out via your institutional email.
Commitment
There will be three sessions over the next six months. Please check your schedule at the time of application, as participation in all three sessions is required for your letter of recognition.
