Introduction
The Postgraduate Diploma in Clinical Exercise enables clinicians to prescribe exercise as a disease-preventative and treatment modality in a safe, effective, and scientific manner. The Diploma will go beyond the scope of the Certificate by teaching students how to critically appraise relevant literature, what is needed to conduct clinical research, and how to appropriately analyze data. There is also a practical element involved in the Diploma, as such students will learn and be examined on the practical skills needed to measure outcomes associated with clinical exercise prescription.
The P.Grad.Dip. in Clinical Exercise will be delivered over one year (full-time) or two years (part-time). Students will engage in material online but will also be required to come to the Exercise Laboratory in Trinity College Dublin for one week to complete practical classes and a practical exam.
Ideal Students
The programme is open to graduates from medicine, nursing, dietetics and nutrition, medicine, physiotherapy, occupational therapy and physiology.
