Hey T- Nation,
I’m wanting to get into the field and work with people who have health problems (diabetes, hypertension, post stroke/heart attack, cancer, etc.
Looking for feedback on job outlook, pay, types of jobs…Really anything from people who know what they’re talking about.
Right now I’m looking at the ACSM Clinical Exercise Physiologist cert.
Thanks!
Can’t tell you much about the being one side of it, but I did just get done with cardiac rehabilitation after a bunch of heart stuff, all directed and monitored by exercise physiologists.
For more on that I’d suggest getting in touch with a university or local cardiopulmonary treatment/rehabilitation facility.
Thanks for the response.
I did a couple internships in this years ago and am not sure how it changed. Good to hear that you were working with EP’s not just nurses!
Good luck on your recovery.
