使用医学实例教授进化论是一种特别有效的策略，可以激励学生学习进化论原理，特别是对追求医学和相关健康职业感兴趣的学生。进化医学领域的研究扩大了进化告知健康和疾病的方式的数量，提供了许多新的、鲜为人知的背景，可以用于课堂使用。然而，许多教师没有时间找到或创建关于进化医学的课堂材料。为了满足这一需求，我们创建了EvMedEd，这是一个资源库，用于帮助希望将更多医学实例整合到他们的进化教学中的教师或教授进化医学课程的教师。有些资源被设计成更适合高中或生物学入门的受众，而另一些则更高级。我们鼓励讲师访问这个精心策划的网站，并与这个社区分享他们自己的教学材料。
Teaching evolution using medical examples can be a particularly effective strategy for motivating students to learn evolutionary principles, especially students interested in pursuing medical and allied health careers. Research in the area of evolutionary medicine has expanded the number of ways in which evolution informs health and disease, providing many new and less widely known contexts that can be adopted for classroom use. However, many instructors do not have time to locate or create classroom materials about evolutionary medicine. To address this need, we have created EvMedEd, a resource repository to help instructors who want to integrate more medical examples into their evolution instruction or instructors who are teaching a course on evolutionary medicine. Some resources are designed to be more appropriate for a high school or introductory biology audience, whereas others are more advanced. We encourage instructors to access this curated website and to share their own teaching materials with this community.
