10. Biggest Challenges Research Intensive University Managing Growth (Faculty to student ratio) Increasing Class Size, but improving teaching and learning…novel approaches/delivery Catching Students Early…Setting Foundations Providing Research/Internship Experiences Stress/Challenges for Graduate Students Resources for New Hires: Start-Up/Space

17. Group Discussions 1. SET-UP 2. CONFLICT 3. RESOLUTION TOPICS FOR DISCUSSION: 1. How do institutions mange tuition dollars relative to student credit hours taught, including laboratory versus lecture courses? 2. How do institutions manage course loads of physiology instructors (tenure-related research faculty, tenure-related teaching faculty, non-tenure instructional faculty, adjunct faculty)? 3. Should physiology programs increase curriculum content uniformity across institutions (similar core courses or content topics)? How can this be accomplished? 4. How do we best evaluate teaching? 5. How can we develop more opportunities for internships and other practical experiences? 6. How do we improve undergraduate career readiness? 7. Should Medical School applicants have a strong background in physiology?
