Personal Trainer Course at UREC

I received this message:

UREC runs a Personal Trainer Prep Course that begins this Wednesday, January 22^nd. This non-credit course is designed to provide applicable knowledge and practical skills in preparation for a national certification in personal training. Topics include guidelines for instructing safe, effective and purposeful exercise, essentials of the personal trainer-client relationship, anatomy, biomechanics, exercise physiology, nutrition, adherence and coaching techniques, as well as all aspects of program design.

There are currently 4 spots left that we’d love to fill – many students get hired as UREC personal trainers after completing the course, so if you could help spread the word we would greatly appreciate it!

Duke University Integrated Health Sciences Internship Program 2019-2020

Brief description: Interns gain experience working with clinical trials investigating the effects of exercise interventions on cardiovascular and metabolic outcomes in the laboratory of William Kraus, M.D. Interns will have the opportunity to become familiar with the function and operation of laboratory equipment used for subject testing and collection of physiological data while assisting with data collection, data reduction, and data analysis. Specifically, interns will take an active role in cardiopulmonary exercise stress testing, muscle strength and physical function testing, body composition analysis, as well as the supervision of exercise interventions in a variety of populations. In addition, interns may be involved in taking blood samples (from an IV), spinning and pipetting plasma for OGTT, and other studies involving blood sampling (e.g. hyperglycemic clamps) as a part of the training process.

• Interns will be assigned one or more mentors to help coordinate their specific internship goals and responsibilities, and will report to this person for the duration of the internship. 
• Internships are a minimum of 15 weeks (17-18 weeks preferred) during fall, spring or summer semesters. 
• All interns will be expected to be available 40 hours per week to maximize the training opportunities. 
• No stipend is provided. Travel and other internship program related expenses are reimbursed up to a total of $2,000 (15 weeks) - $2,500 (18 weeks). 

DEADLINE IS 2/28/2020 FOR SUMMER 2020
