Learning Outcomes
Get experience applying kinesiology skills in a clinical environment.
Program Overview
More than 700 hours of practical experience
It takes more than lectures and textbooks to prepare you to work with real-life clients. Apply knowledge acquired from your kinesiology degree in a clinical environment through a blend of problem-based learning and supervised placements. When you graduate, you’ll be armed with 728 hours of hands-on experience — more than you’ll get in any other kinesiology program in Ontario.
Position yourself and your clients for success
Every client is different, presenting unique challenges that require unique solutions. Learn how to plan, implement and evaluate programs that are customized to meet their complex needs, grounded in coaching and communication strategies that build confidence and keep them motivated. You’ll also develop the skills needed to run your own clinic in a sustainable, ethical and professional manner.
Be supported by exercise science experts
Professors in this program also teach in Sheridan’s kinesiology degree and have real-world experience working with clients in many capacities — including clinical exercise rehab, chronic disease prevention and management, injury rehab, high performance, and strength and conditioning. They will closely guide you through problem-based curriculum specifically designed for clinical professionals.
