Course Description

Cardiac Rehabilitation is increasingly recognized as an integral component of the continuum of care for patients with cardiovascular disease, providing a multidisciplinary approach including exercise programs to reduce morbidity and mortality risk. With a rising number of cardiac disease survivors and an aging population, more patients need to be rehabilitated by therapists with the knowledge and skills required to ensure a better quality of life for them.

The Fellowship in Cardiac Rehabilitation – Level I course allows you to simultaneously maintain a professional role in clinical practice while enhancing your understanding of the numerous components of cardiac rehabilitation through an easy, concise teaching algorithm (multiple visual aids, case presentations, and interactive elements). Additionally, the course covers the latest evidence-based exercise testing and prescription guidelines, implementation of the optimal exercise protocols, behavioral change strategies, lifestyle approaches, medical management, and risk factor modifications.

The Fellowship in Cardiac Rehabilitation – Level I course designed by Medvarsity is a structured program that covers the components of cardiac rehabilitation, namely

● Emphasizing the importance of physical activity and exercise to improve the mood and reduce the risk factors.

● Education on the benefits of balanced nutrition and lifestyle modifications among various age groups and other comorbidities

● Understand the importance of counseling and address the psychosocial factors impacting health

The Medvarsity Learning Design framework (Certificate, Advanced Certificate, and Fellowship – Level I & II) is based on Kirkpatrick’s model of e-learning and allows the systematic consumption and application of the content.
