| Yhteenveto: | On 1 January 2006, the Federal Department of Health and Ageing formally recognised the entry of the accredited exercise physiologist (AEP) into the domain of allied health to deliver Medicare-rebated exercise services for those with chronic diseases. However, there is an acute skills shortage of AEPs equipped to handle chronic medical conditions and injuries as they were predominantly prepared to work with healthy clientele and athletes. This is the final report form a project that aimed to produce nationally supported accreditation criteria for the generic exercise scientist to drive curriculum renewal among the 27 universities currently producing graduates in the discipline. It will also undertake two significant initiatives targeting curriculum required to support the professional develop of the AEP to produce minimum standards of clinical competencies, supported by key learning objectives, and develop new industry-relevant models of clinical learning, practice and assessment that balance between professional standards and the escalating demands for placements. |
