Do you study hard in A&P, but your grades don't show it?
Anatomy and physiology courses begin with wholesale memorization of the shapes and connections of muscles and bones. Then the syllabus moves on to internal organ systems where the anatomy is relatively simple, but the physiology is complex. This is a challenge because physiology is chemistry, and it must be imagined. The good news is that body chemistry is limited to a few simple concepts that are that used repeatedly to explain human physiology.
By Crafting Your Plan For Learning Physiology You Will Achieve
- Confidence of success in your college courses in human physiology and anatomy.
- A clear plan for achieving the high grades required for entrance to the healthcare professional program of your choice.
- The knowledge you need for the next steps in your clinical practice training.

Meet Your Instructor
Dr. Margaret Thompson Reece, a PhD in physiology, is an educator and student mentor. She taught physiology for over 30 years to undergraduate and graduate students, at two- and four-year colleges, in the classroom and in the research laboratory. Now she helps A&P students headed toward a career in healthcare create a plan for learning human physiology – a plan that will work now, and in the future, – even as knowledge of human physiologic function evolves. Her blog is MedicalScienceNavigator.com

Frequently Asked Questions
When does the course start and finish?
The course starts now and never ends! It is a completely self-paced online course - you decide when you start and when you finish.
How long do I have access to the course?
How does lifetime access sound? After enrolling, you have unlimited access to this course for as long as you like - across all devices you own.
What if I am unhappy with the course?
We would never want you to be unhappy! If you are unsatisfied with your purchase, contact us in the first 30 days and we will give you a full refund.
How much time will this course take?
The 30-Day Challenge: Craft Your Plan for Learning Physiology is designed to require less than one hour per day. The videos average about 20 minutes long, and daily worksheets at the end of each video can be completed in less than 30 minutes.
Can I learn physiology if I never had a course in chemistry?
Yes, you can. The first section of this course, the first 7 days, is devoted to teaching the limited chemistry that is needed to learn physiology. The required chemistry is also summarized in the small digital book that is included with this course, “Physiology: Custom-Designed Chemistry.”
Why do I need a plan for learning physiology?
You need a plan because physiology requires that all the anatomic systems work together seamlessly in synchrony. But you cannot study all the anatomic systems at once. Here you will discover the formula used by the human body to manage its functions, and you will craft your plan for learning this science, now and as it evolves over time.

This small book describes all the chemistry you will need to get started learning physiology. Physiologic chemistry represents just a small part of general chemistry because it uses a narrow temperature range and a single solvent system, water.
