In this article we examine the role of basic medical physiology in medical school education. We discuss the historical background, courses in this subject, and methods of teaching it. We conclude that the teaching of medical physiology should emphasize the study of organ systems and of the intact body. The techniques should emphasize meticulous observation, the posing of hypotheses, and the subsequent testing of the hypotheses, i.e., the use of the method used successfully in research. Students should learn the power of the experimental approach and to appreciate the immense variability possible in responses in complex organisms. They should also learn that principles of statistical probability applied logically can detect important differences in data that may be obscured by this variability. They should learn that there are no rigid answers when studying an individual and that they must continue to learn throughout their lives.

When medical students of three universities, house surgeons, general practitioners, psychiatrists, and surgeons were asked in what order would they rank the importance of various subjects in the medical school education of a general practitioner, there is remarkable agreement regarding the first three. In all, 1402 respondents rank medicine, then pediatrics, then psychiatry as most important. There are differences which reflect cultural and curriculum diversity among the student groups. The majority of respondents believe psychiatry should occupy 11% or more of the curriculum.
