I have found scholarly article from the journal “Physiology”
from the American Physiological Society. It is titled “Why Physiology Matters
and Medicine”. In this article, Michael J. Joyner, M.D., Professor of
Anesthesiology at the Mayo Clinic, argues about how teaching human physiology
to medical students is still very important.
As time goes on, physiology courses are being changed to
make them medical related rather than keeping the basics of physiology and
human anatomy within these courses. He says that students learning about physiology
is critical and it cannot be forgotten about. It has been said that medical
educators don’t believe that knowing this information is as useful as it used
to be and it will not help with new discoveries.

I agree with Dr. Joyner, taking physiology courses is so
important when it comes to the medical field. I don’t understand how anyone could
go into the medical field without knowing this information. It is vital to know
the human body and its functions, how else would one be able to learn and
explain new discoveries? Dr. Joyner has made a valid argument and I hope in the
future that he, or others, do something about this. I think physiology is so
important to know, especially when someone is trying to become a doctor.
Every medical school student needs to be taught physiology
correctly so they can become reliable doctors and caregivers for our society.
