Recent reports on medical education research emphasize the importance of two issues: (1) to introduce elements of practice in the early years, while revisiting basic sciences later on, rather than having a traditionally rigid barrier between the preclinical and clinical settings and (2) to increase the level of integration. Regarding that physiology is an important core component of any medical curriculum, while its learning at medical schools relies mostly on didactic lectures during the preclinical years, the aim of the workshop is to practice the integration of a physiology curriculum into a clerkship or a residency program based on the appropriate learning and assessment methods for this integration. Thus, the participants will discuss how to integrate physiology education in the preclinical/clinical phases of graduate/post-graduate medical education by integrating physiology education with other basic sciences as well as clinical and social sciences in the clinical context. Following a short instructive presentation and a brief group discussion, the groups of 45 people will work on different organ system-based programs (e.g. "cardiovascular" or "nervous system and behavioral sciences") or on different themes (e.g. "nutrition and healthy life" or "aging"). Based on these themes or organ-system-programs, groups will discuss on the integrated content and learning methods and suggest possible templates of physiology learning in the clinical settings.
