In the past, I have sometimes posed a question about an aspect of anatomy/physiology, and then ask the class to find an answer in the biomedical literature. I don't always know the answer myself, and sometimes there is not answer... yet.
Because the classes in my area tend to be very diverse and international, I sometimes ask the class about non-Western healing methods that a relative used to help them during their childhood. Then I use the above exercise, so they can find out if any scientific research has been done on particular folk medicine/ ethnobotany healing methods.
