Learning Assistants and Peer Advisors

Learning Assistants are students who have performed well in our core HPHY courses and return to assist the next cohort of students with mastery-in-course material.  Learning Assistants are crucial to the success of our HPHY courses, so expectations for participants are high.  Learning Assistants develop important professional skills as part of a teaching team led by one of our outstanding instructors. 

Students can apply to be a Learning Assistant for the following HPHY classes if they've completed with a grade of "B" or higher: Medical Terminology (HPHY211), Scientific Investigations (HPHY212), Anatomy I & II (HPHY321, 323), Physiology I & II (HPHY322, 324), Anatomy & Physiology III (HPHY325), Physiology of Exercise (HPHY371) & Dissection (HPHY420). This includes LA positions with lectures, labs, and as a grader for all terms, including summer.

You can share your interest to be an Anatomy & Physiology Learning Assistant with your current HPHY instructor. You can apply for HPHY 211 and 212 LA positions at this Microsoft Forms link.

HPHY Peer Advisors are students close to completing their HPHY degree and willing to lend a hand to students wanting help in navigating the major. You can book an appointment with a Peer Advisor at this bookings link. If you're interested in serving as a Peer Advisor next year, look for that application here next Winter 2027 term.
