How are clinical exercise physiology postgraduate courses taught and assessed in the UK? A multimethod qualitative exploration
Clinical placements remain the optimal method for developing the knowledge, skills and competency to practice for student CEPs. However, suitable placements remain limited, and novel approaches such as university-led exercise services require consideration for student competency development. A standardised and accredited training pathway from undergraduate through to postgraduate level should be explored to allow student competency to be developed over a longer period, to enhance knowledge, skills and competency on graduation and registration.
