Episode Synopsis

Today we are joined by Olivia Jobson, MBBS Medicine Graduate, Hull York Medical School (HYMS) and 1st year junior doctor; Jordan Curry, HYMS Academic Clinical Exercise Physiologist and researcher & Paul McKeegan, HYMS Lecturer in Human Physiology. Olivia recounts how she drew a map of her physiology programme as a revision tool while studying, which was then recognised by Jordan and Paul as a fantastic resource for both students and academics; it is now available to all, as the story unfolds!“So one of my hopes is that other students are able to benefit from the work that Olivia has done and be able to support their learning and also potential academics are able to use it to make sure they’re covering all the topics they need to…”Our guests' biosDr Olivia Jobson is the creator of the Human Physiology Map, which she made throughout her time at the Hull York Medical School (HYMS) as a life-long revision aid. Olivia is thrilled to introduce this resource for students and teachers alike. She first made this map as a means to consolidate and organise the vast amounts of physiology she was being taught, and has overtime realised its potential to be a long-term resource for herself and her peers.Olivia graduated from HYMS in 2024 having earned her MBBS and has subsequently finished her first year of foundation training as a doctor in Devon. She has been involved with several research projects and audits regarding surgery and teaching throughout the early days of her career; both of which are keen interests of hers. Olivia is currently embarking on a year sabbatical to travel around South America. Dr. Jordan Curry, Fellow of Advance HE (FHEA), is an Academic Clinical Exercise Physiologist and researcher at HYMS. Jordan teaches across undergraduate and postgraduate programmes, with a specialist focus on exercise oncology. He has also contributed to teaching in research methods, human physiology, clinical exercise physiology, medical and research ethics & exercise medicine.Alongside teaching, Jordan serves on several national and international committees and editorial boards, including the Multinational Association of Supportive Care in Cancer (MASCC), the International Society of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity, and the Society of Behavioral Medicine.Jordan’s research focuses on exercise oncology, digital technology, and behavioural science, with particular emphasis on integrating exercise into the cancer care pathway and supporting people with cancer to be physically active. His work uses mixed methods approaches, with expertise in co-design and user-centred design, and has been recognised with prestigious awards for excellence in patient and public involvement. In his teaching, Jordan brings a student-centred, digital, and practical approach, actively engaging learners in hands-on experiences to deepen their understanding and skills.Dr Paul McKeegan, Advance HE Senior Fellow, is a lecturer in Human Physiology at HYMS and Chair of the HYMS Postgraduate Board of Examiners. Paul develops and delivers physiology teaching, learning, and assessment across HYMS undergraduate and postgraduate programmes. Currently, Paul is leading development of new interactive physiology teaching resources for medical education, supported by The Physiological Society. Paul’s research interests are in metabolic regulation of reproductive physiology, and in student-centric physiology curriculum design.Relevant linksPhysiology programme map DOI.Blog Thank you for taking time to listen to the podcast.
