<p>During clinical exercise physiology placements, students will take on the role of a professional working in the field of clinical exercise physiology under supervision and will gain valuable experience and insight into workplace culture and practice, both within the student-led clinic and external sites. Students will be expected to apply knowledge and practical clinical skills in the area of risk stratification, functional assessment, exercise capacity testing and exercise prescription for diverse clinical populations. Students will reflect on the skills, experience, and professional competencies they have obtained and receive constructive feedback and evaluation from their employer.</p>
