Fit for the Future: Physiology Education and Teaching in the UK

This year’s meeting will provide the opportunity for educators to describe how they are incorporating and promoting physiology in broader biomedical and clinical programmes, how?they engage students with physiological content, and how they are addressing the challenge of restricted finances, growing class size, and changes to academic careers.? These will be addressed in four related themes: 

Students as co-creators 

Student participation in programme design can improve engagement and enthusiasm, strengthen the student-teacher relationship, and improve understanding of the learning process from both sides. ? 

Bringing research culture to the undergraduate experience 

Exposure to research stimulates an inquisitive and critical approach to learning, reinforces classroom material, and teaches key graduate skills while building-in real-life experience. However, as degree-level research expands beyond the ‘wet-lab’ experience, how is the new research culture being used in physiological teaching??? 

Innovations and hot topics in curriculum design 

Three years on from ChatGPT and mass accessibility to LLM, we will consider the impact on teaching and assessment. What methods have been tried and how successful are they?? What is next on the horizon? 

Education focused academics 

Larger class sizes and student numbers often mean increasing proportions of teaching in academic contracts, with a growing number dedicated to education and education support.? What does the education focused academic career look like and how is it supported across the UK?
