This video was super helpful! I’m about to graduate with my bachelors in Knes and with the limited amount of jobs you can get with a bachelors, this pathway seems like a great way to head to. This profession personally seems interesting.
I would recommend volunteering in a hospital or community cardiac rehab setting. It's a great way to get exposure in the field. You can also consider working as a fitness instructor in a medically supervised exercise class to build up your hours.
Did you get your EP certification prior to your CEP certification? I'm taking the EP certification in 1 week and curious to know for working as an EP if you knew the average hourly wage for EP?
@@aqualife88 it will depend on your location. You can see a starting yearly income of $45000. This can increase up to $90000 or more for those that have been in the field for a longer time.
Hi! Is there a difference in employment opportunities for someone who has a BS in Kines w/ CEP vs MS in Kines in clinical specialization w/CEP? Wondering if i should pursue my MS.
Depending on where you plan to get work, some clinical settings may require a masters with your CEP. Many clinical settings I have come across accept a BSc with your CEP. I would suggest looking into job postings in your area for a clinical exercise physiologist, and under requirements, see if you need your BSc or MSc.
@@nextgenrehab thank you so much for this! I’m currently want to pursue ACSM EP-C. Is there a difference in careers between someone who has a EP-C vs CEP? Besides the clinical authority with a CEP. But will other employers favor one or the other?
@@doodlehead94 Ive attached the two job descriptions for a EP-C and CEP. Have a look to see the main differences: EC-C: www.acsm.org/certification/get-certified/exercise-physiologist CEP: www.acsm.org/certification/get-certified/clinical-exercise-physiologist If you do plan on working with the chronic disease population ie: cardiac rehab, pulmonary rehab etc where you are responsible for interpreting exercise stress tests, how certain medications impact exercise, then you will most likely need the CEP certification. I would advise you to speak with the specific employer to see which certification they would need.
I would make sure you know the common cardiac medications ie: beta blockers, statins, ace inhibitors etc and there effects on exercise. You most likely will be asked scenario questions ie: patient starts to experience chest pain on the treadmill during class, what do you do? Or a patient has a change in their beta blocker prescription, how does this effect target heart rate? If your comfortable with questions like this, you should be good to go. All the best with the interview!
It depends on the area you live in. Entry level positions can start at $45000. The more experience you have, CEP's can make upwards of $70000. I would recommend doing a salary search on google for CEP's in your area to get a better estimate.
Certified Clinical Exercise Name: Degree: Position: Major: Job responsibilities: What I like the least about my job: What I like most about my job: Recommendations/advice: can u pls answer it😔
I made a previous video that answers the questions you asked. I've included it below. ruclips.net/video/mr0-aV0yNIA/видео.html If this is a field you are interested in, I would recommend getting a work placement through school or even volunteering in a cardiac rehab setting. This will allow you to see the job itself, and see if it is some thing you would like to pursue. I've also included the outline to becoming a Clinical Exercise Physiologist from the ACSM website. www.acsm.org/certification/get-certified/clinical-exercise-physiologist?gclid=Cj0KCQjwzLCVBhD3ARIsAPKYTcS4sPSvtXZ51NbKXYZqiaJtFsCL3hdBL_SkPQYhHRSq55XgrURBc6kaAsLTEALw_wcB
I have a bachelor in Human Physiology and I have two offers for masters degree. One is to study Public Health and the other is Clinical Exercise Physiology, so my research on the latter brought me to your channel. I find every information very helpful but I’m still confused as to which offer to accept. Any advice? Which of the two has higher job prospect, salary etc?
I can't speak on the prospects for public health, but can offer some points regarding clinical exercise physiology. If you do decide to go the clinical exercise physiology route, you have the option to work in a lab for research, work with athletes or work in the medical field with patients who have chronic disease ie: heart disease, respiratory issues etc. Job opportunities in any of these areas of exercise physiology can range depending on your location. The same applies for salary. If you are able to get a position in a hospital, salaries can range anywhere from 45k-90k per year. Also, if you get a part time or full time position in the hospital, you may get medical coverage from your employer, and potentially a matching contribution into your retirement fund. Again, all these points can vary depending on location, but something to further look into if it's important for you. If you do plan to work in the hospital, job opportunities should be on the rise as more patients are being referred to these specialty programs like cardiac rehab, pulmonary rehab etc.
You can have a look at the ACSM website I've attached below to look over the qualifications to become a clinical exercise physiologist: www.acsm.org/get-stay-certified/get-certified/cep
Many patients do have musculoskeletal issues so we can work on this in the clinic by providing rehab exercises or modifications to exercises. There is, however no manual therapy performed.
I have a MS Kinesiology emphasis in Gero-Kinesiology and a BS Kinesiology emphasis Fitness, does my education qualify me to become a Clinical Exercise Physiologist?
If the core classes you've taken during your degree meet the ACSM Clincal Exercise Physiologist requirements, then you should be eligible to become a CEP. I've attached the link to the ACSM website below. www.acsm.org/certification/get-certified/clinical-exercise-physiologist
Hi Kristen, If you enjoy research, furthering your exercise physiology knowledge or diving specifically into a certain area of study within exercise physiology, then getting a masters will be beneficial. A master's degree will further your expertise in the field. It also gives you the opportunity to work in research labs. It is, however, not mandatory you have your masters degree if you plan on becoming a certified clinical exercise physiologist through ACSM. Having your masters degree does reduce the amount of clinical hours needed prior to writing the ACSM test to be certified as a clinical exercise physiologist.
@@nextgenrehab Thank you so much for getting back to me so quickly! Right now I am doing an outpatient cardiac rehab internship (as an undergrad) and was planning on getting my master's in it clinical(it is just one year program). I was wondering, do you think there would be a salary increase? Or do employers just care about the CEP certification? I really want to work in a hospital setting
@@kristen5199 in the area I work in, I have not seen a difference in salary for individuals with a masters degree vs. not having a masters degree (this may change in different countries or regions within a country). Employers normally look to see if the applicant has their CEP certification, 2-3 years experience in a clinical setting and other relative qualifications to the job. Most salary increases come with experience as you build up your hours in a clinical setting. Having a masters, however, can potentially open up doors to get into a management role within a hospital setting down the road. If you are already doing an internship in cardiac rehab and want to work in a hospital setting, you're on the right track.
Yes depending on your location, you may find it more challenging to find a position as a clinical exercise physiologist in a hospital setting. The field is expected to grow, however, given the increasing incidence of chronic disease. Most individuals are likely start as a casual clinical exercise physiologist in a hospital setting to build up hours and seniority before obtaining a part-time or full time position. Another option is to look into the community. Organizations such as the YMCA may offer cardiac rehab classes and will need qualified clinical exercise physiologists to lead these sessions. Community centres may also offer exercise classes for chronic disease management.
Yes they are considered medical professionals who prescribe exercise for individuals with chronic disease.

Hello! Currently studying a bachelor's for exercise physiology and this video was really helpful! thank you
Glad you found it helpful!
do you have any recommendations on how to get the 1200 hours of hands on experience required for the ACSM CEP exam for a person who has a bachelors?
I would recommend volunteering in a hospital or community cardiac rehab setting. It's a great way to get exposure in the field. You can also consider working as a fitness instructor in a medically supervised exercise class to build up your hours.
Did you get your EP certification prior to your CEP certification? I'm taking the EP certification in 1 week and curious to know for working as an EP if you knew the average hourly wage for EP?
