How Prepared Are Your Students To Learn Physiology?

There is considerable anecdotal evidence suggesting that students studying physiology lack an understanding of certain fundamental mathematical and physical principles. This, of course, has a serious impact on their ability to understand physiological mechanisms. Physiologists teaching at three different educational levels (community college, undergraduate, medical) will describe their evidence about this phenomenon. Participants will then break up into small groups to consider: (1) how the physiology education community might gather data about this issue, and (2) what solutions to the problem can be proposed.
