APS Chapters

APS chapters are independent non-profit organizations that serve to promote physiology research, education and outreach at a local and regional level. Chapters affiliate with the American Physiological Society to mutually promote growth and participation in their society activities. APS membership is not required to join a chapter, but dual membership is encouraged.

Arizona Physiological Society

The purpose of the Arizona Chapter is to promote the discipline of physiology, advance physiological research and teaching, facilitate teaching and research forums for students and young investigators as well as to encourage interaction and fellowship among individuals interested in the physiological sciences and related fields within the state of Arizona.

Blue Bonnet Physiological Society

The purpose of the Blue Bonnet Physiological Society is to promote an increase of integrative physiological knowledge (including clinical and basic science research), its dissemination, and its utilization in the state of Texas and incorporated regions of the Blue Bonnet Society. The Blue Bonnet Society will accomplish this by facilitating collaborative research for members, supporting trainees and students with a career track in a physiology discipline (including clinical and basic science research), disseminating resources for institutional use at all academic levels, and engaging in public outreach to distribute physiology-based research/medical findings to the public within the geographic region of Texas and the Blue Bonnet Physiological Society’s regions. The Blue Bonnet Physiological Society shall provide an inclusive, open environment for the discussion of physiological research and teaching. Under no circumstances will the Blue Bonnet Physiological Society support or tolerate language, action or behavior that are deemed by standard societal convention as discriminatory, harassing, or of a nature that violates basic human rights.

The California Society of Physiologists

The mission of The California Chapter is to advance the discipline of physiology in California through forums that showcase new discoveries, propel collaborations and develop future leaders in the field.
