First, I would like to thank Dr. Brand for his comments and the supporting documentation. The Medical Physiology Curriculum Objectives is a joint project of the American Physiological Society (APS) and the Association of Chairs of Departments of Physiology (ACDP).

As with any discipline, Medical Physiology is evolving in terminology and content. When the Objectives project was completed in 2002, the ACDP instituted a periodic review plan to insure that the project remains current.

The current ongoing revision of the project is being headed by Robert G. Carroll (Department of Physiology, East Carolina University School of Medicine) and L. Gabriel Navar (Department of Physiology, Tulane University School of Medicine). Dr. Carroll keeps a file of all recommendations for additions, deletions, and modifications of the learning objectives. Dr. Navar, through the ACDP, convenes an expert panel to periodically review and update one or more sections (Renal in 2005 and Cardiovascular and Respiratory in 2006). The review panel is provided with any suggestions and comments that have been passed onto Dr. Carroll. The revised objectives are presented to the ACDP and, if approved, are posted to the APS Education website (http://www.the-aps.org/education).

Any comments about individual objectives or the project may be e-mailed directly to Dr. Carroll (carrollr@ecu.edu) or posted at the APS Archive of Teaching Resources [Search for Medical Physiology Learning Objectives (Object #165) and look for "Post a Comment" at the bottom of the Fact Sheet].
