Conference Report

INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP: MODERN APPROACHES TO TEACHING AND LEARNING PHYSIOLOGY

Faculty of Medicine University of Sydney Sydney, NSW 2006, Australia Chair, Commission for Teaching International Union of Physiological Sciences

Abstract

The very successful workshop (San Jose, Costa Rica, November 16–18^th, 2000) was attended by 70 participants from 19 countries, Central and South America, with some additional expertise from Australia, Canada, Costa Rica, New Zealand, and the USA. The organization was very capably undertaken by staff of la Universidad de Iberoamerica (UNIBE). The local arrangements for the workshop were excellent, and all the participants would wish to record their appreciation to UNIBE for its foresight and for the substantial support that it provided. Discussion was very lively both in the plenary sessions and in the interactive workshops. It was particularly pleasing to see that local students contributed actively. Simultaneous translation (Spanish/English) of the formal presentations and some of the discussion sessions greatly assisted communication and ensured the free exchange of ideas.
