COURSE CONTENT
Human Physiology In Translation is designed for undergraduate students to learn and comprehend important functions of the human body with a particular emphasis on physiological processes within the endocrine, cardiovascular, respiratory, and renal systems. For each topical listing, emphasis will be placed not just on physiology, but also the role of pathology, treatment, and prevention. In addition, each “organ” based section (ie, endocrine, cardiovascular, respiratory, and renal) will have a dedicated TRANSLATIONAL topic where a number of
sectional topics are integrated into a single lecture. These translational lectures will bridge important physiological areas with phenomenon that are relevant to both undergraduates and our society, and will be of keen interest to those pursuing medically related careers. Mastery of this knowledge will provide the student with exceptional preparation for a health science career. Covered topics will include the following,

Enjoy it! We hope that this course will be a useful and constructive learning experience for you. We believe that developing a solid background in basic physiology, and integrating it with translational experiences will prepare you well for any future medical career.
EDUCATIONAL PHILOSOPHY OF COURSE
Physiology is the science of how the body functions, and is the basis for understanding modern clinical medicine. It is the responsibility of the student to comprehend physiological facts and principles for subsequent use in advanced learning. The faculty will guide students in learning individual facts and in integrating the knowledge in order to understand how organ systems work independently and inter‐dependently in the body. We hope that this course will be a useful and constructive learning experience for you. We believe that developing a solid background in basic physiology, and integrating it with translational experiences will benefit you.
COURSE GOALS
• To help students learn basic, translational, and medical functions of the human body.
• Knowledge of physiology, as well as selected translational items.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
• CORE DISCIPLINE COMPETENCY. Demonstrate knowledge of the following physiological systems: (1) Cellular/Endocrine, (2) Cardiovascular, (3) Respiratory, and (4) Renal.
• PROBLEM SOLVING COMPETENCY. Demonstrate the ability to apply physiological principles of translational relevancy as measured by examinations.
• PROFESSIONAL BEHAVIOR COMPETENCY. Appropriate professional behavior will be expected and noted by the faculty. Although attendance is not taken for didactic lectures, attendance is obviously very highly encouraged. Professional behavior includes:
o Behavior and appropriate interactions respectful of classmates' learning experiences and dignity
o Attentive behavior in the classroom
o Respect for, and maintaining dignity of faculty
LEARNING ACTIVITIES and RESOURCES
Information is delivered in lecture format. Some lectures will relate basic science content to a translational meaning (i.e., high altitude breathing).
Learning Resources:
Much of the information conveyed during the course will be in the form of PDF handouts available online (password protected via Sakai). The handouts will be available only as PDF downloads, and will not be distributed as paper hard copies. The PDF handouts will be readied for students to take notes on the PDF pages using Adobe Reader.
Text:
The required text book for this course is Ganong's Review of Medical Physiology, 24th Edition, LANGE Publishers, 2012. You can access an electronic version of the text without charge via a
VPN connection to the Health Science Center Library. http://accessmedicine.com/resourceTOC.aspx?resourceID=741
E‐tools and aids:
o Adobe Reader for PC computers
o Adobe Reader for Macs
o Adobe Flash Player
Review Sessions:
Faculty have scheduled review sessions before each exam for the entire class to review lecture topics.
STUDY GROUPS
Independent study groups are strongly encouraged, although not required and are not organized by the course director. Students should actively make attempts to join existing study groups or form new study groups. It has been demonstrated that student performance, and retention of information for long term professional use, is enhanced by study groups.
EVALUATION
The Core Competency and Problem Solving Competency are evaluated using multiple choice examinations. There are four scheduled exams covering the four major sections of the class; (1) Cellular/Endocrine, (2) Cardiovascular, (3) Respiratory, and (4) Renal. The date of each exam will be indicated on the calendar. All exams will be taken in the Health Science Testing Center, Room CG‐28. Please familiarize yourself with the location of this room prior to the first exam. In the event a student has a conflict with a scheduled exam, the student is to notify the Course Director and explain the nature of the conflict. An alternate date will be scheduled that is convenient to the student and the Testing Center calendar. Grades will follow the standard UF grading scale,
95% ‐ 100% A
90% ‐ 94.99% A‐
87% ‐ 89.99% B+
83% ‐ 86.99% B
80% ‐ 82.99% B‐

Testing Center Policy and Procedures:
Students are expected to read and follow the standard Testing Center Policy and Procedures, as described at this link:
http://medinfo.ufl.edu/omi/testing/policy.shtml
Summative Evaluation:
Each exam will be worth 25% of the final grade. Final grades will be determined after all four exams have been completed. The final grade for the course is based on the total points accrued over all four exams. The median grade will earn a “B” grade. Other grades will be based on standard educational matrices from the median score as outlined by the University of Florida.
Policy on Recording and No Public Display of Physiology Course Material:
Permission to electronically record audio from lectures or other course offerings will be granted by each individual instructor. Under no circumstances shall video or other visual recordings be made whether using ‘official' medical education personnel and equipment, or by cell phones or cameras, or by anyone using any optical recording device. In all cases, electronic recordings of lecture materials, including audio and PDF files and Power Point figures, are not permitted to be made publicly available online on the internet, emailed outside ufl.edu domain, or otherwise made available or distributed outside of the enrolled students.
Attendance Policy:
Since lectures are not recorded, students are expected to attend each lecture as pertinent information is disseminated during this time. It is understood that situations may arise that will preclude a student from attending a lecture on a given day. In this event, the student should notify the lecturer via e‐mail. However, the student should understand that the consequence of missing a given lecture may include a reduced comprehension of that subject matter. Five (5) excused absences will be allowed per semester.
Lectures Copyrighted:
Faculty lectures are copyrighted, including handouts and spoken audiovisual representations.
Professionalism
Students are expected to act in a professional manner. This includes, but is not limited to being punctual for lectures and exams as well as not being disruptive to the lecturer and other students in the class. Those who ignore this policy will be directed to leave the class and will not be allowed to return until having a conference with the Course Director.
Accommodations for Students with Disabilities
Students requesting classroom accommodation must first register with the Dean of Students Office. The Dean of Students Office will provide documentation to the student who must then provide this documentation to the Instructor when requesting accommodation.
Academic Honesty Guidelines All students are required to abide by the Academic Honesty Guidelines which have been accepted by the University. The academic community of students and faculty at the University of Florida strives to develop, sustain and protect an environment of honesty, trust and respect. Students are expected to pursue knowledge with integrity. Exhibiting honesty in academic
pursuits and reporting violations of the Academic Honesty Guidelines will encourage others to act with integrity. Violations of the Academic Honesty Guidelines shall result in judicial action and a student being subject to the sanctions in paragraph XIV of the Student Code of Conduct. The conduct set forth hereinafter constitutes a violation of the Academic Honesty Guidelines (University of Florida Rule 6C1‐4.017).
