"Medical Exercise Program Directors: Pioneering Evidence-Based Training in Medical Exercise"

Embracing Evidence-Based Practice in Medical Exercise

The concept of 'evidence-based' practice has become fundamental in healthcare, and now it's reshaping the world of medical exercise. This approach emphasizes the importance of backing up medical procedures, exercises, or treatments with valid research to ensure they produce positive outcomes for patients.

The Role of Medical Exercise Specialists

As Medical Exercise Specialists, it's our responsibility to contribute to this evidence-based landscape. We must move beyond subjective assessments like improved feelings or increased energy. Our focus should shift towards producing our own research, which will serve as the cornerstone for medical exercise guidelines, protocols, and the future of our profession.

Attention Medical Exercise Professionals! The Baby Boomer generation is rapidly becoming your most essential client group. Why? Because they're the largest consumer of healthcare services globally. As medical experts increasingly recognize exercise as key in managing chronic conditions, the demand for skilled Medical Exercise Program Directors (MEPDs) is soaring, especially because of Baby Boomers.

Target Market Insight: Baby Boomers need specialized exercise programs for conditions like hip/knee replacements, hypertension, diabetes, obesity, and neurological conditions such as stroke, MS, and Parkinson's. They also require exercise routines to maintain functionality in osteoarthritis.

The Role of MEPDs: Every Medical Exercise Training (MET) or post-rehab facility needs a competent MEPD for not just survival but growth. MEPDs play a crucial role in developing, managing, marketing, and administering MET programs, acting as a bridge to medical referral sources.

The Medical Exercise Program Director (MEPD) Training series enhances the skill and knowledge of the medical exercise professional who manages a medical exercise or post-rehab facility. The number 1 reason to enroll in the MEPD program is the enhancement and the growth of professionalism of all MEPD participants. The MEPD increases your ability to better manage medical conditions using ONLY exercise. This raises the professionalism of our new industry - medical exercise training. A higher professional standard is vitally important in the integration of medical exercise training into the health care system.
