Introduction to HPER
Position One: Exercise Physiologist in Cardiac Rehabilitation
Job Title: Exercise Physiologist/ Cardiac Rehab
Employer: NCH Health System
Location: Naples, FL
Starting Salary: $31,540
1) I found this information by typing into google first what I could do with an
Exercise Science degree. I found a long list of options, but I found a few that
were of interest to me. This particular job came from healthcaresource.com
2) Other than having a bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science, there are other
prerequisites. I found that in order to even apply for this position, one must have
completed the following: Cardiac Rehab Experience, knowledge of heart
diseases, anatomy and physiology of the heart, BLS for healthcare providers,
and ACLS certification.
3) While attending the University of North Alabama, I received great knowledge in
this area of work. This area of work also in very interesting to me, so the job
would not ever be boring to me. I would always bring a good, hard- working
attitude to the table.
4) Growing up, I had always known that my dad had a heart defect. When I was
eight years old, he had a massive heart attack and had to have open heart
surgery due to this defect. By growing up around this and helping my dad when
he was recovering, I believe that I would not only have the experience for this
position, but the compassion also.
