-
Organize informational symposia or workshops on careers in physiology to
encourage high school, undergraduate and graduate students, and
postdoctoral trainees, specifically including students and trainees from
underrepresented
minority groups, to choose a career in physiology.
-
Work with the Association of Chairs of Departments of
Physiology and appropriate APS Committees (eg., the Education, Liaison
with Industry, Women in
Physiology, and Porter Physiology Development Committees) to gather
information about the current demand for and the suitability of the
training of physiologists.
-
