Water movement across the cell membrane is crucial, with red blood cells experiencing the flow of water in both directions at a rate of approximately 100 times their own volume per second. This process typically results in no net water flow due to an equal balance of diffusion in opposite directions, a phenomenon known as osmosis, driven by water potential or impermeant solute concentration. Understanding osmosis is essential for both physiology and medical practice, yet its complexity may not be effectively conveyed to the students through traditional teaching methods...

Intro Medical students face challenging but important topics they must learn in short periods of time such as autonomic pharmacology. Autonomic pharmacology is difficult in that it requires students to synthesize detailed anatomy, physiology, clinical skills, and pharmacology. The subject poses a challenge to learn as it is often introduced early in the medical school curriculum. Methods To ease the difficulty of learning autonomic pharmacology, we created a free web application, PharmaMemory (www.pharmamemory...

Emotional intelligence (EI) has a positive correlation with the academic performance of medical students. However, why there is a positive correlation needs further exploration. We hypothesized that the capability of answering higher-order knowledge questions (HOQs) is higher in students with higher EI. Hence, we assessed the correlation between EI and the capability of medical students to answer HOQs in Physiology. First-year undergraduate medical students (n = 124) from an Indian medical college were recruited as a convenient sample...

Medical students must be adept at critical thinking to successfully meet the learning objectives of their pre-clinical coursework. To encourage student success on assessments, the course director of a first- year medical physiology course emphasized the use of learning objectives that were explicitly aligned with formative assessments in class. The course director introduced the physiology discipline, learning objectives and evidence-based methods of studying to students on the first day of class. Thereafter, class sessions started with a review of the learning objectives for that session and included active learning opportunities such as retrieval practice...

Pharmacists are increasingly becoming the healthcare professional that interacts most regularly with patients who have diseases or disorders for which exercise is an effective and recommended treatment. With the relative scarcity of clinical exercise physiologists in the US, pharmacists are expected to provide lifestyle advice to their patients, especially in community (i.e. retail) pharmacy settings, but student pharmacists typically receive no formal or informal training in exercise physiology and prescription...

Views of obesity as a consequence of "lack of willpower" or other behavioral choices, rather than a complex array of biological and other factors, are quite common among undergraduate students. Many undergraduates in pre-nursing or biology programs have little exposure to the physiology and pathophysiology of obesity, including learning about leptin and other hormones involved in appetite control. I developed materials for teaching about the pathophysiology of obesity in two different pathophysiology courses: one designed as a survey of pathophysiology topics for pre-nursing majors, and the other designed as an in-depth exploration of the molecular and cellular basis of selected diseases for upper division biology majors...

Diabetes mellitus and obesity are major public health issues that significantly impact the health care system. The next generation of health-care providers will need a deep understanding of the pathophysiology of these diseases if we are to prevent, treat, and eventually cure these diseases and ease the burden on patients and the health care system. Physiology Core Concepts are a set of core principles, or "big ideas", identified by physiology educators that are thought to promote long-term retention, create a deeper understanding, and help with formation of critical thinking skills...

Early year's physiology education in medical curricula provides unique challenges. As well as inculcating concepts that are seen as difficult, modern curricula require that students learn in context in Case Based Learning courses. Additionally, regulating bodies stress that the soft skills of compassion, communication and empathy are embedded throughout curricula. This has driven work in our organisation involving drama and final year medicine students during which they collaborate in realistic simulations of doctor/patient interactions...

UK university undergraduate programs are compared by independent subject-specific rankings (Complete, Guardian, Times), based upon data from National Student Survey, Higher Education Statistics Agency, Universities and Colleges Admissions Service, Research Excellence Framework, and the universities. The sports and exercise science program at University of Glasgow, has steadily risen to currently rank as the top UK program. This investigation aimed to identify the underlying factors that explain this. Therefore, we obtained underlying scores for entry standard, student satisfaction, research foundation, graduate prospects, staff-student ratio, expenditure/student, continuation, program support to students, and teaching quality from the ranking providers for years 2010-2024, and statistically modelled which factors significantly affected the rankings...

Queer students in undergraduate STEM majors are more likely to drop out than their cisgender, heterosexual peers despite having equivalent grades and research exposure. It has been demonstrated that sense of belonging, a very strong predictor of student retention, is low in queer-identified STEM undergraduates. It has further been posited that faculty openness and authenticity can enhance sense of belonging for queer students through the creation of an inclusive classroom culture. The authors of this article, three queer-identified faculty in the health sciences department at Boston University, surveyed students enrolled in their courses to elicit student thoughts, feelings, and behaviors regarding the effect of faculty 1) sharing their identity openly in the classroom, and 2) actively working to create open, inclusive dialogue and space in their classrooms...

Mnemonic devices are memory aides that make it easier to recall information, and are widely used by students studying anatomy and physiology. Simple musical instruments and toys can serve as mnemonic devices for students learning the functional anatomy of the larynx: Balloons can help learners understand and recall how sound is produced; tuning pegs can help learners understand how tension affects vocal pitch; fingers on a fretboard can help learners understand how pitch is further modulated; and a common coach's whistle can demonstrate how vocal volume is controlled...

The multidisciplinary nature of Physiology requires students acquire, retain, apply and evaluate knowledge from different scientific disciplines. Optimal learning techniques, such as active learning, interleaving topics and conditions, and recall, can greatly enhance the speed and effectiveness by which students achieve this type of higher-order thinking. However, developing and implementing optimal learning techniques in the classroom can be both time-intensive and challenging for the instructor. In addition, students may be resistant or slow to accept novel learning processes...
