title: Teaching medical physiology in Brazil.
abstract: An analysis of physiology teaching in Brazil is carried out based on data collected from a questionnaire sent to 78 medical schools. It investigates faculty graduate degrees, time spent on teaching, audiovisual equipment available, evaluation of student performance, books in current use, and areas of research. Local results as compared with those from an international sample have shown a preference for lectures and that large departments are more concerned with research, but changes are underway to introduce computer simulations and modular instruction as a means to improve teaching.
