Abstract
This article presents a “how-to” guide for redesigning an introductory physiology unit to emphasize the Core Concepts of Physiology. Detailed descriptions are provided of innovative, scalable, adjustments to content delivery, assessment, learning objectives, and activities. Staff reflections and student experience suggest a strong Core Concepts emphasis, while challenging, can promote critical thinking and develop an understanding of underlying chemical, physical and biological principles.
