You will complement your clinical exercise physiology classes with three intensive on-campus weekends where you will practice skills for your internship. You’ll perform client assessments, run stress tests, learn to identify normal vs. abnormal heart rhythms, and develop comprehensive rehab programs.

The residency experience takes place in our state-of-the-art Lewis Human Performance and Exercise Physiology labs. Located in the Jeanne and Edward H. Arnold Health Professions Pavilion, our facilities and biomechanical equipment rival what is offered at large research institutions.

Before you graduate, you’ll complete a 600-hour internship in a cardiopulmonary or rehabilitation exercise program for special populations. Our faculty and career coaches can connect you with one of several regional healthcare networks or research institutions that meet your career goals.

The clinical exercise physiology internship allows you to gain valuable work experience and engage in human performance assessment, protocol or equipment development, and/or research activities with faculty.
