Abstract
The work of college physics teachers is to a great extent devoted to the teaching of service courses for nonphysics students, engineering students probably forming the largest group. Little provision is made for students in the biological sciences beyond the introductory physics course. With the growing recognition of the importance of physics in biology and medicine, and the advent of biophysics, it can be expected that physics departments will soon be called upon to organize advanced physics courses for biologists. This paper discusses the past and present situation, and outlines two physics courses for biologists offered at different levels: an intermediate course and a biophysics course. Out of these new physics service courses for the biology, premed, and medical students, and others, valuable experience will be gained about teaching programs for biophysicists.
