Nuzzo, James L. – Advances in Physiology Education, 2023
Letters to the editor are an important part of democratic societies. In academic journals, letters serve as a form of postpublication review and thus permit continued discussion and debate of scientific ideas. However, letters and their importance are rarely taught to university students. Therefore, the aim of the present paper is to propose a…

Andrew M. Petzold; Shanna L. Altrichter – Advances in Physiology Education, 2023
Conventional teaching about obesity, especially within a physiology-based course, tends to focus on the biological aspects. Unfortunately, framing obesity from a solely biological perspective ignores many factors that contribute to the condition, leaving students with an overly simplistic idea. We developed an introductory exercise physiology…

Pessoa, Pamella Teles; Palanch, Adrianne Christine; Casale, Karina Reche; Montrezor, Luís Henrique; Taxini, Camila Linhares; Azevedo, Maria Antonia; Marcondes, Fernanda Klein – Advances in Physiology Education, 2023
In health courses, the students must be familiar with the effects of intravenous solutions on cell volume and function, a topic where there can be learning difficulties and misunderstandings. Since educational games can assist in understanding complex concepts, we created a game relating solution osmolarity and tonicity to red blood cell volume…

Lehman, Tom – Advances in Physiology Education, 2023
Urine formation in the nephron can be a very intimidating concept to students. This straightforward activity, performed by students during the nephron lecture, can help enforce the concepts as they uncover the structures and functions involved in urine formation.

Hopper, Amy; Beswick-Jones, Hana; Brown, Angus M. – Advances in Physiology Education, 2022
The application of physico-chemical principles has been routinely used to explain various physiological concepts. The Nernst equation is one example of this, used to predict the potential difference created by the transmembrane ion gradient resulting from uneven ion distribution within cellular compartments and the interstitial space. This…

Hirkani, Munira; Hegde, Geeta; Kamath, Ramakrishna; Sonwane, Tejaswini; Angane, Esha; Gajbhiye, Riya – Advances in Physiology Education, 2022
Developing group cohesiveness in the online environment is important for a satisfying learning experience. This article describes an innovative use of crosswords as a "group" activity along with a hybrid version of Medical Pictionary and Medical Charades, in a medical school in India, to engage the learners, encourage interactions and…

Silverthorn, Dee U. – Advances in Physiology Education, 2022
The Wiggers diagram showing simultaneous events of the cardiac cycle in composite graphs is one of the most intimidating figures students encounter in their study of physiology. This paper describes a discovery learning activity that walks students through the construction of the Wiggers diagram by focusing on the core concepts of blood flow down…

Learning endocrine physiology can be challenging. Some physiological concepts are abstract, making the process of learning more difficult for students. The comprehension of basic concepts, such as chemical hormone classification, is essential to understand the differences in synthesis, secretion, transport, and mechanism of action of hormones. To…

Ngo, Han G.; Dandu, Chaitu; Gibney, Brianna L.; Kuang, Serena Y. – Advances in Physiology Education, 2022
The Nernst equation is key to understanding the electrophysiology of the cell membrane and the pathophysiology of K[superscript +] imbalances (i.e., hyperkalemia and hypokalemia). However, in our experience teaching medical students over the years, many students struggle to make connections between a brief introduction of the Nernst equation and…

Hopper, Amy J.; Beswick-Jones, Hana; Brown, Angus M. – Advances in Physiology Education, 2022
The five papers published by Hodgkin and Huxley in 1952 are seminal works in the field of physiology, earning their authors the Nobel Prize in 1963 and ushering in the era of membrane biophysics. The papers present a considerable challenge to the novice student, but this has been partly allayed by recent publications that have updated the…

Cunningham, Christopher J.; Giusto, Joseph; Reiss, Rachel; Garba, Deen L.; Lucke, Austin; Eltilib, Mohamed; Hastie, Eric – Advances in Physiology Education, 2022
There is evidence that demonstrates that teaching preclinical and clinical material can have numerous benefits for both students and teachers, with the majority of literature focusing on peer medical student teaching. There is a dearth of literature exploring the benefit of medical students teaching undergraduate, pre-health professional students…

Alshareef, Maram – Advances in Physiology Education, 2022
Medical education has seen a shift toward interactive teaching in small groups that actively involves students in learning. However, didactic teaching, despite drawbacks such as student isolation and low stimulation of critical thinking, is still a very commonly used teaching method. For didactic teaching to be effective, teachers must possess…

Michael, Joel – Advances in Physiology Education, 2022
Students often fail to utilize what they know about one topic (e.g., hemodynamics) when attempting to master another topic involving a similar phenomenon (e.g., airflow in airways). What accounts for this difficulty that students have? And how can students be assisted in doing a better job of applying what they already know to new topics? The…

Tyler, Christopher James; Debevec, Tadej; Cheung, Stephen S. – Advances in Physiology Education, 2021
The COVID-19 pandemic provoked a need for rapid adaptation of teaching strategies and learning environments. Thus novel approaches, predominantly based on online/virtual platforms are needed to minimize the negative effects of the pandemic on teaching (and learning). Herein we describe our recent web-based symposium series on environmental…

Rhodes, Ashley – Advances in Physiology Education, 2021
The value of active learning for increasing student comprehension and retention of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) concepts within undergraduate courses has proven to be beneficial many times over; however, barriers still exist for both instructors and students. For example, instructors are often left to decide what type…
