Case Study: Aerospace Medical Association streamlines Fellows selection and automates scoring with OpenWater

The Aerospace Medical Association Streamlines its Fellows Program with an Online Solution

Aerospace Medical Association (AsMA), the international leader in aerospace medicine, struggled with a labor-intensive pen-and-paper Fellows nomination process that required candidates and reviewers to manually calculate complex scores. To modernize and streamline the workflow, AsMA engaged OpenWater to deliver an online solution — a custom-coded submission form on the OpenWater platform with live score previews and automated scoring logic.

OpenWater implemented a responsive, auto-scored application that flags inadmissible answers and displays real-time scoring for applicants while giving administrators sortable final scores for fast review. After one year with OpenWater, AsMA administrators no longer hand-score lengthy questionnaires, candidates have clearer, faster application experiences, and the review committee can confidently identify top candidates; AsMA has since moved scholarships, awards, and calls for abstracts to the OpenWater platform and plans to extend auto-scoring to those programs.
