Center for Physiology Education Advisory Board

Purpose: Reporting to the Board of Directors of the American Physiological Society (APS), the APS Center for Physiology Education Advisory Board is responsible for shaping the strategic direction of the Center; providing feedback to staff during the development and curation of resources to meet the objectives of the Center; and promoting the interests of physiology educators within APS and more broadly. 

Meetings: The advisory board meets virtually once each quarter, with the option for one in-person meeting annually. Additional meetings or committee work may take place virtually or electronically as needed. 

Composition:

The advisory board will include 10 appointed voting members and two ex officio members, one of whom will also vote, bringing the total number of voting members to 11. All appointed members will be recognized in the field of physiology education, with at least one senior research scientist included on the board.
