Session title: Virtual reality: a technology to promote active learning of physiology
Presenter: Adrienne King, PhD
Organizer: Barb Goodman, PhD, FAPS
Virtual Reality (VR) has been shown to improve learning outcomes and student engagement. The journal club will begin with an overview of virtual reality and how it can be used in education. The paper, "Virtual reality: a technology to promote active learning of physiology for students across multiple disciplines," will be used to discuss a mixed-method research approach to investigate students’ perceptions of physiology learning based on VR simulations.
April 2024
April 3–4, 2024, Long Beach, California
Keynote presenter: Jennifer Doherty, PhD
Organizer: Mary Pat Wenderoth, PhD
Join us for a new Center for Physiology Education event designed to equip you with practical tools and resources to incorporate the core concepts of physiology into your curriculum. From Concept to Classroom, which will focus on the concepts of flow down gradients and mass balance, will take place April 3–4, 2024, in advance of the American Physiology Summit in Long Beach, California.
May 2024

Session title: Experiential Learning for Cardiovascular and Sleep Technology
Presenter: John Durocher, PhD
Organizer: Barb Goodman, PhD, FAPS
In this session, we will review experiential learning examples for clinical exercise physiology, autonomic physiology, and sleep physiology. The corresponding author for the paper will also discuss new concepts and equipment that were added to the course in the second time that it was offered.

Ongoing Involvement with the Center for Physiology Education
Throughout 2023, working groups will continue to update the more than 500 resources currently offered by the Center. These working groups are asking for your help to gather accessible, high-impact resources to add to the resource libraries. The working groups are considering resources for these current and anticipated resource libraries:
- Evidence-based teaching practices,
- Inclusive teaching,
- Teaching homeostasis,
- Physiology education research,
- Advising, and
- Physiology curriculum development at the undergraduate, graduate, and medical school levels.
Do you know a high-impact resource that would benefit physiology educators? If so, email the title and a link to the resource to APS Learning, apslearning@physiology.org for consideration. Please make sure to indicate which topic the resource addresses.
The Center needs your help developing and supporting our educator community. We are looking for a diverse group of contributors with various types of teaching experience and encourage anyone eager to learn about teaching and learning to volunteer. Even if you do not have teaching experience yet, we could use your help. Please complete the volunteer form to help us connect you with volunteer opportunities that match your interests, knowledge and passions.
