Physiology Education Workshop

MCQs in Physiology, Current Status and a National Database

3pm, Wednesday, 28th November 2018


The education workshop will focus on multiple choice and short answer assessment items in our undergraduate Physiology teaching. The first half will discuss the way we use these assessment items, including some mini showcase presentations around current practises and online platforms to present these assessments. The second half will focus on the concept of a National Physiology Question Database, the key processes, use and benefits of such a resource. All those interested in Physiology and Biomedical Science Education are welcome to attend and participate in this workshop. For those interested, we will hold a Physiology educators dinner following the workshop.
