Core concepts are "big ideas" that can play a number of roles in helping students master a particular discipline: (1) they may define the important content of a discipline, (2) serve as tools to help students gain a better understanding of the discipline, and (3) facilitate transfer of learning between topics in the discipline. The core concepts of Physiology and of Pharmacology have been defined, and their deployment as part of Physiology and Pharmacology pedagogy is well underway. Here we compare and contrast the core concepts of these two disciplines and suggest lessons that have been learned that might assist other disciplines in deploying core concepts in their discipline.
核心概念是“大理念”，在帮助学生掌握特定学科方面可发挥多种作用：（1）它们可能界定一门学科的重要内容；（2）充当工具帮助学生更好地理解该学科；（3）促进该学科不同主题之间的学习迁移。生理学和药理学的核心概念已经明确，并且将其作为生理学和药理学教学法的一部分加以应用的工作正在顺利进行。在此，我们比较并对比这两门学科的核心概念，并提出已获得的经验教训，这些经验教训可能有助于其他学科在各自学科中应用核心概念。
