The way we teach: physiology.
A vocational training course in physiology is described in which physiology and biochemistry are interrelated, and students' skills of observation, deduction, and interpretation of data are developed in practicals and problem-solving exercises. Considerable emphasis is placed on self-directed learning, with appropriate back-up in practicals and tutorials. The self-learning courses are tightly structured. Since the course was introduced, the level of student performance has been raised.
