Learning outcomes are an essential element in curriculum development because they describe what students should be able to do by the end of a course or program, and they provide a roadmap for designing assessments. This paper describes the development of competency-based learning outcomes for a one-semester undergraduate introductory human physiology course. Key elements in the development process included decisions about terminology, eponyms, use of the word "normal" and similar considerations for inclusivity. The outcomes are keyed to related physiology core concepts and to process skills that can be taught along with the content.
