Part of understanding the power of exercise is movement by an exercise prescription defined by an exercise physiologist. The world of exercise has changed from "just do it" to "exercise is medicine." And, as such, as with all prescriptive medicine, exercise should be prescribed. The leadership in this regards ought to be the Board Certified exercise physiologist who has met all the prescriptive facets of exercise by passing the "Exercise Physiologist Certified" exam. The courage to admit this thinking is the beginning of the future for exercise physiology. We should celebrate this new culture evolving in regards to exercise and exercise physiology. Among other considerations, when choosing a career, it seems to me that professional development ought to be a highly regarded factor. Doesn’t everyone want to be a professional? All students should think about the importance of being referred to as a “professional” from within the context of an established professional field. It seems of little advantage otherwise to be referred to as a professional outside of an established career option. A fitness professional, for example, is not a professional in the same context as a physical therapist is from within the physical therapy association. In fact, it is the association that lays the ground work for professional development. All students should understand this point. It has direct bearing on what they call themselves, whether they are respected in what they do, and how much security they will have in the long run. For certain, employers understand this point. They expect their employees to provide reasonable evidence of their professional commitment to a professional organization. It is also proper for employers to expect the employees to become certified and/or licensed by the professional organization. All of this bears directly on the employees’ commitment to services and the degree to which the employee understands right from wrong and how to therefore harm to the client. You can (or should) expect the employer to ask about a code of ethics, standards of professional practice, and certifications. They should feel more comfortable hiring a board certified exercise physiologists versus someone with a certification that is not link to an academic degree.
