Automatically maps learning objectives to assessment outcomes using domain-specific medical education frameworks (ACGME, GMC, RCPSC, etc.) embedded in the platform's knowledge base. The system uses structured competency taxonomies and alignment algorithms to validate that curriculum design meets regulatory and accreditation requirements without manual cross-referencing of standards documents. This differs from generic curriculum tools by pre-loading healthcare-specific competency hierarchies and validation rules.
Unique: Pre-embedded healthcare education standards (ACGME, GMC, RCPSC, CCNE) with domain-specific competency taxonomies and validation rules, rather than generic curriculum mapping that requires manual standard configuration. Uses structured competency hierarchies specific to medical and nursing education rather than flat learning outcome lists.
vs alternatives: Faster compliance validation than generic tools like Canvas or Blackboard because it has healthcare standards baked into the data model, eliminating manual cross-referencing of accreditation documents.
Analyzes exam questions using classical test theory and item response theory metrics (difficulty index, discrimination index, point-biserial correlation, Cronbach's alpha) to identify problematic items and generate psychometric reports. The system processes student response data and question metadata to flag items with poor discrimination, excessive difficulty, or statistical anomalies that suggest flawed wording or answer key errors. This automates what typically requires manual statistical review by assessment specialists.
Unique: Implements healthcare-specific psychometric thresholds and interpretation guidelines (e.g., acceptable discrimination indices for medical licensing exams differ from general education). Uses domain-specific flagging rules that account for medical education assessment norms rather than generic statistical cutoffs.
vs alternatives: More specialized than generic assessment platforms like Blackboard or Moodle because it applies medical education psychometric standards and automates the statistical analysis that typically requires hiring assessment specialists.
Validates bidirectional alignment between learning objectives, instructional activities, and assessment methods using a structured mapping engine. The system checks that each competency is taught, practiced, and assessed; flags competencies with missing instructional coverage or assessment methods; and generates gap reports showing which competency domains lack adequate learning experiences. This uses a relational data model where competencies, learning activities, and assessments are linked and validated for completeness.
Unique: Uses a three-way validation model (competency → learning activity → assessment) specific to healthcare education's teach-practice-assess paradigm, rather than generic alignment tools that only map objectives to assessments. Implements healthcare-specific competency frameworks (ACGME domains, nursing competencies) as built-in reference models.
vs alternatives: More rigorous than spreadsheet-based curriculum mapping because it enforces structural validation rules and automatically detects gaps; faster than manual curriculum audits because it processes all mappings simultaneously rather than requiring committee review of each competency.
Provides a structured repository for storing exam questions with automatic or manual tagging by content domain, competency, difficulty level, and question type. The system indexes questions using healthcare-specific taxonomies (e.g., ACGME competency domains, organ systems, clinical skills) and enables filtering and retrieval by multiple metadata dimensions. Questions can be tagged with learning objectives, assessment methods, and psychometric properties from prior administrations, creating a searchable knowledge base for exam construction.
Unique: Implements healthcare-specific metadata taxonomies (ACGME competency domains, organ systems, clinical skills) as built-in tagging options, rather than generic question banks that use only generic subject categories. Integrates psychometric data from prior administrations into question metadata for evidence-based exam construction.
vs alternatives: More specialized than generic learning management systems because it provides healthcare-specific tagging and psychometric tracking; more focused than general question bank tools because it omits features irrelevant to healthcare education (e.g., peer review, gamification).
Generates traceability matrices and audit reports showing the chain from curriculum design (learning objectives) through instruction to assessment, with evidence that each competency is addressed. The system produces documentation suitable for accreditation bodies, showing which courses, learning activities, and assessments contribute to each competency domain. Reports include coverage statistics, cross-references, and evidence artifacts (syllabus excerpts, assessment rubrics) linked to competency mappings.
Unique: Generates accreditation-specific report formats and evidence structures required by healthcare education bodies (ACGME, CCNE, GMC), rather than generic curriculum reports. Includes built-in compliance checklists and documentation templates aligned to specific accreditation standards.
vs alternatives: More specialized than generic reporting tools because it understands healthcare accreditation requirements and generates documentation in formats expected by accreditation bodies; faster than manual documentation because it aggregates curriculum data into pre-formatted reports.
Analyzes exam performance across student cohorts and time periods, identifying trends in learning outcomes, identifying at-risk students, and comparing performance across different instructional methods or cohorts. The system processes historical exam data to calculate cohort-level statistics (mean scores, score distributions, pass rates), tracks performance trends across multiple exam administrations, and flags significant performance changes that may indicate curriculum or instruction quality issues. Uses time-series analysis and comparative statistics to surface patterns.
Unique: Applies healthcare education-specific performance benchmarks and interpretation guidelines (e.g., acceptable pass rates for board exams, competency-based performance thresholds) rather than generic learning analytics. Integrates with healthcare competency frameworks to analyze performance by competency domain rather than just overall scores.
vs alternatives: More specialized than generic learning analytics platforms because it understands healthcare education outcomes and performance standards; more focused than broad institutional analytics because it concentrates on exam performance and competency-based learning outcomes.
Implements a Model Context Protocol server that bridges Perplexity's real-time search API with LLM applications, enabling structured queries that return synthesized answers with source citations. The MCP server translates tool-call requests into Perplexity API calls, handles response parsing, and returns results in a format compatible with Claude, LLaMA, and other MCP-aware LLMs. Uses JSON-RPC 2.0 message framing over stdio/HTTP transports to maintain stateless request-response semantics.
Unique: Exposes Perplexity's proprietary AI-synthesized search as a standardized MCP tool, allowing any MCP-compatible LLM to access real-time web answers without direct API integration — the MCP abstraction layer decouples Perplexity's API contract from the LLM client
vs alternatives: Simpler than building custom Perplexity integrations for each LLM framework because MCP standardizes the tool interface; more current than retrieval-augmented generation with static embeddings because it queries live web data
Registers Perplexity search as a callable tool within the MCP ecosystem by defining a JSON schema that describes input parameters, output format, and tool metadata. The server implements the MCP tools/list and tools/call RPC methods, allowing LLM clients to discover available tools, validate inputs against the schema, and invoke search with type-safe parameters. Uses JSON Schema Draft 7 for parameter validation and supports optional tool hints for LLM routing.
Unique: Implements MCP's standardized tool registration pattern rather than custom function-calling APIs, enabling any MCP-aware LLM to invoke Perplexity without client-specific adapters — the schema-driven approach decouples tool definition from LLM implementation details
vs alternatives: More portable than OpenAI function calling because MCP is LLM-agnostic; more discoverable than hardcoded tool lists because schema-based registration allows dynamic tool enumeration
mapEDU scores higher at 43/100 vs Perplexity at 40/100. However, Perplexity offers a free tier which may be better for getting started.

Implements a stateless MCP server that communicates via JSON-RPC 2.0 messages over stdio (for local integration) or HTTP (for remote access). Each request is independently routed to the appropriate handler (search, tool listing, etc.) without maintaining session state or connection context. The server uses a simple message dispatcher pattern to map RPC method names to handler functions, enabling lightweight deployment as a subprocess or containerized service.
Unique: Uses MCP's standard JSON-RPC 2.0 message framing with dual transport support (stdio and HTTP), allowing the same server code to run as a subprocess or remote service without transport-specific branching — the abstraction is at the message handler level, not the transport layer
vs alternatives: Simpler than REST APIs because JSON-RPC 2.0 provides standardized request/response semantics; more flexible than gRPC because it works over stdio and HTTP without code generation
Manages Perplexity API authentication by accepting an API key at server initialization and injecting it into all outbound Perplexity API requests via HTTP headers. The server handles credential validation (checking for missing or malformed keys) and propagates authentication errors back to the MCP client. Uses environment variables or configuration files to avoid hardcoding secrets in code.
Unique: Centralizes Perplexity API authentication at the MCP server level rather than requiring each client to manage credentials, reducing the attack surface by keeping API keys in a single process — the server acts as a credential broker between LLM clients and Perplexity
vs alternatives: More secure than embedding API keys in client code because credentials are isolated to the server process; simpler than OAuth because Perplexity uses API key authentication
Parses Perplexity API responses to extract synthesized answer text, source URLs, and citation metadata. The parser maps Perplexity's response schema (which may include nested citations, confidence scores, and related queries) into a normalized output format suitable for MCP clients. Handles edge cases like missing citations, malformed URLs, and partial responses from Perplexity.
Unique: Abstracts Perplexity's response schema behind a normalized output format, allowing MCP clients to remain agnostic to Perplexity API changes — the parser acts as a schema adapter layer
vs alternatives: More maintainable than raw API responses because schema changes are handled in one place; more transparent than black-box search because citations are explicitly extracted and returned
Implements error handling for Perplexity API failures (rate limits, timeouts, invalid responses) by catching exceptions, mapping them to MCP error codes, and returning structured error responses to the client. The server implements retry logic with exponential backoff for transient failures and provides fallback responses when Perplexity is unavailable. Error messages include diagnostic information (HTTP status, error code, retry-after headers) to help clients decide whether to retry.
Unique: Implements MCP-compliant error responses with diagnostic metadata (retry-after, error codes) rather than raw API errors, allowing clients to make informed retry decisions — the error abstraction layer decouples Perplexity's error semantics from MCP clients
vs alternatives: More resilient than direct API calls because retry logic is built-in; more informative than generic error messages because diagnostic metadata is included
