The Teaching Section promotes excellence in physiology education through educational research and scholarship in physiology. This group provides opportunities and mentoring for trainees, early career faculty and established faculty to adopt and refine evidence-based teaching of physiology. The Teaching Section recognizes that research in physiology—both basic and biomedical—depends on education and that all physiologists are educators.
“When I joined the Physiology Department at the University of Minnesota, the first thing my chair asked me to do was join APS. I remember the feeling of my first meeting—the warm welcome, the genuine camaraderie and the exciting research. Now when I attend meetings, I meet people who remind me of myself, when I was discovering the joys of teaching physiology.”
