Ultrasound is being incorporated more into undergraduate medical education. Studies have shown that medical students have positive perceptions about the value of ultrasound in teaching courses like anatomy and physiology. The purpose of the present study was to provide objective evidence of whether ultrasound helps students learn cardiac physiology. In this study, 20 medical students took a pre...

background: rapid advancement of information and communication technologies has transformed the methods of education. it has created methods which help students achieve deep and effective learning as well as develop a desirable level of creativity. implementation of e-learning in education is one of such methods. the purpose of the present research is to study the impact of self-learning (self-...

Prof. Johann Axelsson is the founder of the Department of Physiology at the University of Iceland, and despite his retirement as professor is still actively involved in research at the department. Most if not all Icelandic physiologists have studied physiology under his guidance at some point in their career, and/or worked under his leadership as mentor or department head. No Icelandic physiolo...

Background: Using active teachings methods is one of the crucial elements of today’s education. One of the active teachings methods is Bybee method. This study aims to evaluate the impact of Bybee (5E) teaching method on learning of physiology textbook among nursing students. Methods: This study is pre-test and post-test with control group as semi-experimental design. The study population is al...

ficulty in quantifying the hours spent teaching physical activity; only 12 schools were able to so. Physical activity teaching was often “integrated” or “difficult to assess”. The study does not account for the integration of physical activity teaching into other specialities; cardiology, respiratory, physiology, endocrine, or GP/community care. The study does not address whether students are c...

This paper overviews the curricula of nuclear medicine (NM) undergraduate training in 34 Central & Eastern European (CEE) and 37 European Union (EU) medical faculties. The data show enormous variation in the number of hours devoted to nuclear medicine, varying between 1-2 to 40 hours and highly differentiated concepts/ideas of nuclear medicine training in particular countries. In most EU countr...

<1> Abstract In addition to their role as important preparations for research, crustaceans have served as model systems for teaching basic principles of signal transmission in nervous systems, particularly in student laboratory classes. We survey published and other easily available crustacean preparations used in neuroscience teaching, focusing on neuromuscular properties, synaptic transmissio...
