Teaching thyroid physiology through art: an integrative and historical pedagogical approach.

NEW & NOTEWORTHY This article presents an illustrative pedagogical approach, grounded in my experience with the PhysioArt project, demonstrating how artworks can be used as teaching resources in physiology. Using thyroid physiology as an example illustrates how guided analysis of art can promote student engagement and integrative understanding. Rather than providing a comprehensive evaluation of educational outcomes, this work aims to inspire educators to explore art as a methodological strategy in physiology teaching.
