Physiology teaching in Europe is one of the important issues to be addressed by FEPS. Because of such important new developments as change from classical curricula to curricula integrated with other fields and to curricula based on Problem Based Learning (PBL), disappearance of departments of Physiology resulting in loss of visibility of Physiology as a discipline on its own right, it was felt that a Task Force was needed. The first main goal of this Task Force should be to identify the common grounds of an academic European Physiology program, including the description of end-terms and competencies. This information could be very useful for the various national societies since they could help in establishing the generally accepted disciplinary end-terms. Aside from that, a survey is needed of the various approaches of educational methodologies, as well as of the Physiology-related educational research which is performed in each country. Furthermore, experts in various domains of educational methodologies have to be identified. Results of these inquiries will be published on the FEPS website, as well as published in international journals. Specific topics will be selected by the Task Force group to be presented on the annual workshop on Teaching in Physiology, which will be organized in concert with the FEPS meeting.
