Overview

Begin your journey toward becoming a clinical exercise physiologist where you’ll have a profound effect on the lives of patients.

A clinical exercise physiologist (CEP) is a healthcare professional trained to work with patients facing chronic diseases and other conditions for whom exercise training provides therapeutic benefits. Commonly treated conditions include cardiovascular, pulmonary, metabolic, immunologic, hematologic, neuromuscular and chronic musculoskeletal diseases.

CEP professionals use scientific rationale to assist in the recovery from illness, and prevent or manage chronic diseases through clinical exercise testing, exercise prescription, physical activity counseling, exercise supervision and health education/promotion. Cardiopulmonary rehabilitation and cardiac exercise stress labs are common workplaces for CEPs.
