Educating our expanding undergraduate student cohorts in whole body physiology is complex, and to do this effectively can sometimes be a challenge. I was awarded the Otto Hutter Physiology Teaching Prize in 2019 (pre-COVID) and my oral presentation at Physiology 2020 was going to be looking at the role of online teaching in physiology education. However, the recent global COVID-19 Pandemic has hit physiology education hard with restrictions on face-to-face on-campus teaching and instructors have had to be more and more imaginative to delivery high quality online teaching. In this presentation, therefore we will explore the challenges of physiology education with a specific focus on practical skills and human physiology looking back at our traditional approach, how we responded to the COVID-Pandemic and the ways we might be educating our students in the socially distanced future within our Institutions.
