The Foundation

The PAM Method

Every ARIA program is built on one framework — created by Deb Kirkpatrick after 15 years of Epic EHR implementation and instructional design work in healthcare.

P
Practical
Could your client use this in the next 24 hours without your help? If no — make it more practical.
A
Accessible
Any jargon, any assumption, any moment where someone might feel left behind — remove it.
M
Meaningful
Does this connect to what this specific person actually cares about — not AI in general, but their Tuesday?

A Note About Claude
ARIA runs inside Claude — the AI platform built by Anthropic. Claude is free to use at claude.ai with no credit card required. The free tier is sufficient for most students. Claude Pro is available at $20/month for heavy users who want unlimited conversations. ARIA AI Academy has no financial relationship with Anthropic — we recommend Claude because it is the best tool for this curriculum.
