In 2022, a subset of the Human Anatomy and Physiology Society (HAPS) Curriculum & Instruction Committee administered the third offering of the HAPS lab survey. This survey included a three-part framework of (1) demographics, (2) lab activities and learning outcomes, and, (3) the impact of a global pandemic on instruction. Here we report on demographics of respondents, their institutions, and students. Survey results related to lab activities and outcomes, and COVID-19 impacts, will be addressed in subsequent manuscripts. The duration of teaching service has been stable with 54.3% to 58.3% of respondents serving at least ten years in their current position, and 88% of respondents working at a single institution. Job responsibilities focused on teaching (98.9%) as well as multiple other commitments including service and lab and/or course coordination. The number of respondents with a terminal degree increased and there has been a decrease in the percentage of respondents working at 2-year institutions, with 50% of respondents working at 4-year institutions, of which a slight majority had graduate programs. Career goals of enrolled students remained focused on allied-health and instructors indicated nursing as the most common student career goal, with a range of other careers also mentioned. Overall, the results affirmed the importance of anatomy and physiology (A&P) instruction and the multiple roles that A&P instructors serve at their institutions.
