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.
