"ASEP Annual Meeting
2005: Extremely Pleased!"
Matt Lehn, MS, EPC,
President-Elect, ASEP
The annual meeting for any professional
organization is an exciting time. Professionals are able to network,
catch up with former colleagues, learn the latest from their field,
think critically about the state of their profession, and get energized
for the future. The American Society of Exercise Physiologists 7th
Annual Meeting and Conference, taking place on April 8th & 9th in
Minneapolis, MN, will prove to be an invigorating event for
exercise physiologists.
We are extremely pleased with this years
meeting. The conference will feature 27 presentations from
exercise physiologists in academia, clinical settings, and students.
The wide variety of topics will ensure that something will be of
special interest to everyone in attendance. Research, professional and
general topics will all be included to help expose all exercise
physiologists to areas of their profession that they may not be
familiar with. Topics for the meeting include:
Ginseng

While learning the latest from our field
is important, likely the most important aspect is the relationships
that are built and the unity provided by sharing a common interest
for the future of the profession. Whether meeting individually or as
group, hearing those facing the same challenges and concern that you
share creates a unique opportunity to generate energy and passion for
the profession.
Any exercise physiologist can attend an
ASEP meeting. ASEP believes that all individuals with degrees in
exercise physiology are exercise physiologists. ASEP members are
educated professionals who have a minimum of a bachelor's degree (or
emphasis) in exercise physiology (or science). They work in a variety
of settings including; colleges and universities, hospitals, clinics,
fitness centers, wellness centers, research settings, and numerous
other important areas.
The location of the meeting, taking place
at the Hilton Minneapolis/St. Paul Airport
is the nearest full service hotel to the Minneapolis/St. Paul
International Airport and only 1 mile from the Mall of America,
the nation's largest shopping mall/entertainment complex. It is also
adjacent to the Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge overlooking
the beautiful Minnesota River Valley. The Hiltons convenient location
allows easy access to all major freeways of the Twin Cities. Guest
rooms are oversized and designed for guest comfort with amenities
including 2 two-line telephones with guest voice mail, data port and
high-speed Internet access. The Hilton also features a recreation area
featuring an indoor pool, two whirlpools and fitness center. Hiking and
walking trails are also available adjacent to the hotel.
This quality conference is yet another
example of the hard work of ASEP on behalf of all Exercise
Physiologists. This conference will provide an opportunity for all
Exercise Physiologists to network with peers, learn more about the
latest in the field of Exercise Physiology from clinical, research and
professional topics. Past ASEP annual meetings have been great
successes, with 100% of last years attendees stating they would
recommend the conference to a colleague. With quality speakers and
timely topics, this meeting promises to be just as successful.
We look forward to seeing you in Minneapolis!
Ask the Professor
with Dr.
Don Diboll
Q.) Is ASEP working with CMS
to form a national registry so that our profession
can be viewed along the same lines as PT's, PTA's Rt's, nurses...?
-Kevin McNamara M.S.
Exercise Physiologist
A.) Dear Kevin,
The efforts of ASEP at present are focused on achieving objectives that
will ultimately lead to licensure of Exercise Physiologists.
Although a national registry may have its advantages, it is licensure
that truly identifies and distinguishes a profession within allied
health care. Licensure is what provides physical therapists and nurses,
for example, with the professional status and respect they have. Licensure
must be established in each state individually. However, part of
the process to establish licensure requires a national organization
dedicated to the profession, a scope of practice, as well as an
accreditation process that ensures credibility of the academic programs
that will train these future professionals. These key objectives, as
well as many others, are being addressed by ASEP.
