Special
Call for Papers
Advances in Physiology Education
Topic: Teaching and Learning of Professional Ethics
Advances in Physiology Education is soliciting
submission of original manuscripts that identify current issues and
effective educational approaches to enhance the learning of professional
ethics.
Development of and adherence to professional ethics is
essential to the vitality of the discipline of physiology, and is one of the
nine Major Skills identified in the APS/ACDP List of Professional Skills for
Physiologists and Trainees (www.the-aps.org/education/skills.htm).
Although professional ethics is integrated into all areas of training,
manuscripts are specifically solicited that 1) identify current ethical
issues facing the discipline of physiology, 2) propose solutions to these
issues, and 3) illustrate approaches that effectively communicate the
importance of ethics to students and trainees.
The responding authors should indicate in their cover letter
that the submitted manuscript is in response to this call for papers. The
manuscript will undergo normal peer review. If published, the article will
be highlighted together with others appearing in response to this call.
Please contact the Editor in Chief, Robert G. Carroll
(E-mail: carrollr@ecu.edu) if you are
interested in preparing a manuscript.
Topic: Using Classic Papers to Teach Physiology
Advances in Physiology Education is soliciting
submission of original manuscripts in concert with the APS Legacy Project
and its accompanying Essays on APS Classic Papers (http://www.the-aps.org/publications/classics/).
The purpose of the submission will be to describe, in
detail, how a classic paper published in an APS journal selected from the
Legacy Project (http://www.the-aps.org/publications/legacy/)
can be used to teach physiological principles to undergraduate or graduate
students. A vital component of this paper is a section entitled “Teaching
Points” which clearly outlines how an instructor might use the classic paper
in the classroom or laboratory. Also encouraged is the selection of a figure
and/or table from the classic paper that, along with a descriptive legend
with homework questions, can provide a handout for instructors to distribute
to students as a "discovery learning" project. The manuscript should also
have a short abstract giving a general description of the overall goal of
the submission.
The responding authors should indicate in their cover
letter that the submitted manuscript is in response to this call for papers.
The manuscript will undergo normal peer review. If published, the article
will be highlighted together with others appearing in response to this call.
Since it is vital that each APS classic paper result in
only one Advances in Physiology Education manuscript, please
contact Associate Editor Hershel Raff, Ph.D. (E-mail:
hraff@mcw.edu) if you are interested in preparing a manuscript.
