Booth & STFM Village

Our booth and the STFM Village were great ways for our team to connect with subscribers.

Our Subscribers were Excited to Learn About…
  • The Aquifer Family Medicine validated, summative exam, tailored to the STFM clerkship curriculum, is included with your subscription.
  • MedU/Aquifer’s free interdisciplinary courses, including Aquifer Diagnostic Excellence.
  • Aqueduct, our learning management system, allows you to create custom courses. You can pick-and-choose cases, integrate cases from our free interdisciplinary courses, organize your students and faculty, and enjoy tailored reporting.
  • We offer a range of courses on key topics such as Addiction, Radiology, and Geriatrics. And, like our free courses, you can select cases from these subscriptions for use in a custom course in Aqueduct.
