Answering the most common questions I get from exercise science/physiology students: 🫀What are the job requirements for a Clinical Exercise Physiologist? 🫀Do I need a master's degree to get a CEP job or is my bachelor's degree enough? 🫀Do I need the ACSM certification? When I was doing my own job search in 2021, I've already had my master's degree and 4.5 years of experience in cardiac stress testing in both an inpatient and outpatient setting. Despite this, I did get turned down from some jobs because I didn't have the ACSM-CEP certification. It is now becoming a standard to have a master's degree and an ACSM certification in addition to experience in the field in order to get a job as a Clinical Exercise Physiologist. If you are looking to go into the Clinical Exercise Physiology field, I would do a job search in your location and review the job requirements and preferred qualitifications from different hospitals/facilities that are hiring as well as finding internship opportunities! This will help navigate your CEP journey in a specific direction and really lock in the area that you would like to work in for the future!

I’m so grateful and blessed to be able to do what I love for our cardiac patients ♥️ Who knew interning in cardiac rehab as a masters student would lead me to piloting and helping lead an awesome virtual cardiac rehab program in Denver! 💪🏼 Thank you to all the Clinical Exercise Physiologists, Nurses, and other cardiac rehab professionals for all that you do ❤️‍🩹 #cardiacrehabweek #cardiacrehabweek2025 #clinicalexercisephysiologist #clinicalexercisephysiology #exercisescience #exercisephysiology #exercisephysiologist #cardiology #acsm #acsmcep #acsmcertified #healthcare #healthcareworkers #aacvpr #virtualcardiacrehab #cardiacrehab #workfromhome #wfh #wfhlife #remotecepjobs #cardiopulmonaryrehab

My journey as a Clinical Exercise Physiologist explained 🩺 Many students ask how I became a Clinical Exercise Physiologist and really all I have to say is that it was a blessing in disguise to stumble into this field! Here is a short (yet long lol) overview of my CEP journey: 🫀 May 2014: Graduated from Benedictine University (Lisle, IL) with a Bachelor’s degree in Health Science with emphasis on pre-physical therapy. As many of you may or may not know, I originally wanted to become a physical therapist however was denied from PT schools because of my grades and lack of experience in the field, which led me into the Clinical Exercise Physiology field. 🫀 Summer 2014: Was part of a research team at Benedictine University that later presented at the MWACSM Conference in Indiana in November 2014 🫀 August 2014-August 2016: Completed my Master’s degree in Clinical Exercise Physiology also at Benedictine University. We were required to intern at 2 facilities during my second year. I interned at Edward’s Hospital (Naperville, IL) in the cardiopulmonary rehab department in the fall of 2015 and Northwestern Memeorial Hospital (Chicago, IL) in the cardiac rehab and cardiac diagnostics/stress testing department in the spring of 2016, completing more than 150 hours at each facility. 🫀 August 2016: Passed the comprehensive exams and graduated from Benedictine University with my Masters degree in Clinical Exercise Physiology 🫀 September 2016-March 2021: First job as an Exercise Physiologist working in the cardiac stress testing department at Northwestern Memorial Hospital, performing regular, echo, nuclear, and later cardiopulmonary stress tests in the inpatient and outpatient setting. 🫀 April 2021-May 2023: Moved to Denver and obtained my ACSM-CEP certification in July 2021 for my Clinical Exercise Physiologist position at Kaiser Permanente in the cardiac stress testing department performing regular, nuclear, cardiopulmonary, and some echo stress tests in the outpatient setting. 🫀 May 2023: Had the privilege to present at the ACSM Conference in Denver of my social media journey as a CEP! 🫀 May 2023-present: Became part of the team that helped build the virtual cardiac rehab program in KPCO. Our virtual cardiac rehab program launched in late August 2023 and it has been an amazing journey and learning experience since!

National #WearRedDay is an initiative by the @americanheart to raise awareness about heart health, cardiovascular disease, and stroke, especially for women’s heart health 🫀 As a Clinical Exercise Physiologist and a first time mom, this is an initiative that I will ALWAYS support 🩺 Here are some heart statistics to be aware of: 🫀 from the 2025 AHA Heart Disease and Stroke Statistics Update: in 2022, there were 941,652 cardiovascular disease (CVD) related deaths in the U.S., making heart disease the leading cause of death, especially for women’s 🫀 nearly half of U.S. adults have high blood pressure and a large portion have diabetes or prediabetes, both major contributors to cardiovascular disease 🫀 obesity remains a major issue, particularly among young people, with around 40% of children in the U.S. having an unhealthy weight 🫀 while overall CVD death rates have slightly decreased, kidney disease death rates have increased by 1.5% 🫀 certain racial groups, like non-Hispanic Black individuals, experience a higher prevalence of cardiovascular disease 🫀 each year, nearly 4,600 infants experience cardiac arrest out of the hospital 🫀 each year, more than 23,000 children experience cardiac arrest 🫀 congenital heart disease (CHD) are the most common birth defect, affecting 1 in 100 babies, with no cure and requiring lifelong care Please visit the @American Heart website on how to spread awareness and let’s continue to help our friends, family, and loved ones continue to fight against heart disease 🥊 #heartmonth2025 #chdawareness #chdaware #heartdisease #heartdiseaseawareness #heartdiseaseprevention #nationalwearredday #clinicalexercisephysiologist #clinicalexercisephysiology #exercisescience #exercisephysiology #exercisephysiologist #cardiology #acsm #acsmcep #acsmcertified #healthcare #healthcareworkers #aacvpr #virtualcardiacrehab #cardiacrehab #cardiopulmonaryrehab
