Following a longstanding tradition and well-earned reputation as an adaptive unit, faculty in the Department of Physiology shared teaching and research efforts among the three colleges of medicine.

They also met the growing needs for graduate education and those of its already sizeable undergraduate program, besides presenting service courses for other majors.

These commitments have remained virtually unchanged for over 20 years.

The department is now among the largest in the United States.

Its many research interests and teaching specialties attract undergraduate and graduate students, postdoctoral appointees and faculty worldwide.
