LGBTQ+ Faculty, Queering Health Sciences Classrooms: Student Perspectives
Adv Physiol Educ. 2024 Feb 22. doi: 10.1152/advan.00200.2023. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTQueer students in undergraduate STEM majors are more likely to drop out than their cisgender, heterosexual peers despite having equivalent grades and research exposure. It has been demonstrated that sense of belonging, a very strong predictor of student retention, is low in queer-identified STEM undergraduates. It has further been posited that faculty openness and authenticity can enhance sense of belonging for queer students through the creation of an inclusive classroom culture. The authors of this article, three queer-identified ...

Enhancing Medical Students' Science Communication Skills: From the Perspective of New Media
Adv Physiol Educ. 2024 Feb 22. doi: 10.1152/advan.00192.2023. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTWith the development of science over the years, people have increasingly realized the importance of science communication. Unfortunately, very little research has focused on helping medical students develop the capabilities of science communication. To improve medical students' science communication and evaluate the effectiveness of New Media through mobile clients in health science communication, a competition was held among medical undergraduates. Outstanding works were selected for publication on our official health science commu...

Striking a (vocal) chord: Musical instruments as mnemonic devices when teaching the functional anatomy of the larynx
Adv Physiol Educ. 2024 Feb 15. doi: 10.1152/advan.00070.2023. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMnemonic devices are memory aides that make it easier to recall information, and are widely used by students studying anatomy and physiology. Simple musical instruments and toys can serve as mnemonic devices for students learning the functional anatomy of the larynx: Balloons can help learners understand and recall how sound is produced; tuning pegs can help learners understand how tension affects vocal pitch; fingers on a fretboard can help learners understand how pitch is further modulated; and a common coach's whistle can demonst...

Asynchronous Lecture Participation Negatively Predicts Exam Scores for Females and Students of Color in an Introductory Physiology Course During COVID-19
Adv Physiol Educ. 2024 Feb 8. doi: 10.1152/advan.00112.2023. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIn response to COVID-19, educators rapidly pivoted to new and innovative ways of delivering lecture material. The ability to host synchronous lectures on platforms like Zoom gave students continued access to classroom material in the face of an ongoing pandemic. The purpose of this study was to investigate the differences in exam scores between students attending a physiology class (PHSL3051) synchronously via Zoom or asynchronously by viewing recorded lectures posted after class. Students in PHSL3051 were evaluated with four unit ex...

Cracking the Code: Using Educational Gaming for High-Level Thinking in Physiology Education
Adv Physiol Educ. 2024 Feb 8. doi: 10.1152/advan.00154.2023. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe multidisciplinary nature of Physiology requires students acquire, retain, apply and evaluate knowledge from different scientific disciplines. Optimal learning techniques, such as active learning, interleaving topics and conditions, and recall, can greatly enhance the speed and effectiveness by which students achieve this type of higher-order thinking. However, developing and implementing optimal learning techniques in the classroom can be both time-intensive and challenging for the instructor. In addition, students may be resista...

Utilizing Data from the Clinical Pulmonary Function Laboratory to Teach About Respiratory Physiology: Illustrating Airway-Parenchymal Interdependence
We examined the relationship between airway conductance (Gaw) and lung volume (thoracic gas volume, TGV) in 48 patients: 17 healthy, 20 with emphysema, expected to have reduced airway-parenchymal interdependence, and 11 with pulmonary fibrosis, expected to have increased airway-parenchymal interdependence. Our findings support these expectations, with the slope of Gaw vs. TGV being steeper among those with pulmonary fibrosis and flatter among those with emphysema, compared to the slope of the healthy group. This type of analytic approach, using real-world patient data readily available from any pulmonary function laborator...
