In this episode of The APS Publications Podcast, Dr. Brianna L. Julien and Dr. Louise Lexis (both at La Trobe University, Bundoora, Australia) discuss the Curriculum Development and Assessment article published by Tangalakis et al. in the Advances for Physiology Education Call for Papers on Physiology Core Concepts. This article represents the first time an existing set of core concepts for physiology, developed by Michael and McFarland (U.S.-based educators), have been mapped against unit (subject) learning outcomes across physiology curricula in Australian universities to gauge uptake and the need for agreement on a set of core concepts in the Australian higher education context.
