Employability is a key concern for physiology students and educators, yet graduate destinations remain diverse and often uncategorised. This review summarises contemporary curricular and extracurricular strategies to enhance employability and transferable skill development in physiology education. Approaches highlighted include authentic assessment, simulation-based learning, placement years, enterprise education, and career-focused modules. Emphasis is placed on embedding skill development within the curriculum and supporting students in recognising and articulating their attributes. The review highlights gaps in provision for non-clinical career pathways and advocates for inclusive, benchmark-aligned, future-facing practices. A conceptual framework and mapping tool are provided to support educators in designing programmes that prepare graduates for a rapidly evolving workforce.
