2018 Refresher Course on GI Physiology: Not Just the Gut Anymore (Supported by APS Strategic Partner ADInstruments)

Refresher Course — Saturday, April 21, 2024 — 8:00 AM - 12:00 PM — Convention Center, Room 20A
Education Committee — Chair: Jennifer M Sasser — Co-Chair: Edward K Merritt

The goal of the annual APS Refresher Course is to provide instructors of Medical Physiology courses with updates to their lecture content and provide materials for non-specialists who have teaching responsibilities in specific content areas.  At Experimental Biology 2018, the refresher course will review updates in teaching gastrointestinal physiology in a session entitled: GI Physiology: Not Just the Gut Anymore. Four lectures will be presented to cover a broad range of topics to review current topics covered in medical physiology and to highlight new areas of interest, including the role of the gut microbiota, to those teaching in this area.
