Our Story

EPAnotes is a product of Aptitools, a company founded on the belief that better tools for educators lead to better outcomes for patients. Founded by a practicing physician and a developer, Aptitools was built to create technology that directly addresses the challenges residency programs face every day. Having seen the frustration many programs face with large, rigid educational software companies, we knew there had to be a simpler, more effective solution.

That shared vision led to EPAnotes — a platform designed to streamline assessments, deliver more actionable feedback, and simplify compliance reporting. By focusing on usability and impact, we provide residency programs with tools that support faculty, empower trainees, and reduce administrative burden — ultimately improving the learning environment and the care patients receive.
