[EN] In the study plans of the first years of the degrees in Health Sciences it is usual to include basic and general subjects that are not very motivating for students with a more specific academic profile. Specifically, in the Degree in Optics and Optometry at the University of Valencia we encountered this problem when teaching General Physiology, a subject included within the Human and Ocular Physiology subject in the first year. Based on this background, we have considered developing the “FisioCovid” project as a pedagogical tool due to its condition of general interest to the population. The objective of this teaching innovation project is is to take advantage of the media and scientific impact that information related to the COVID-19 pandemic has throughout society to improve motivation and with it the learning and acquisition of General Physiology concepts. For this, classes have been used in the seminar/tutorial mode in which students have related concepts after the interpretation of scientific articles related to COVID-19 and Physiology. In conclusion, "FisioCovid" has shown excellent acceptance, in addition to improving student participation and autonomy.
