The American Physiological Society  (APS) is a community that champions the discipline of physiology. Our mission: To advance scientific discovery, understand life, and improve health. 

As a nonprofit devoted to fostering education, scientific research, and dissemination of information in the physiological sciences, we focus on supporting our 10,000+ members in their efforts to solve the major problems affecting life and health. Most APS members have doctoral degrees in physiology and/or medicine (or other health professions).

APS is headquartered in Rockville, Md. We are a member of the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB), a coalition of independent societies that plays an active role in lobbying for the interests of biomedical scientists.
