Exercise Physiology

“I wanted a program that would set me apart for medical school. I know the Ex Phys program will help me achieve my goals due to the rigorous curriculum that is provided during undergrad.”

“The exercise physiology program has several hands-on opportunities where students learn basic clinical skills, how and when to perform certain exercise tests and how to develop an exercise prescription. My favorite hands-on experience is the gross anatomy lab.”

“Exercise physiology teaches you the base of every subject and exposes you to many different fields, which allows you to have many options when you graduate.”

“The more I looked into WVU, I realized just how many diverse major offerings were available to me here that I could not find anywhere else. Dance Science is extremely difficult to find as a field of study, and will allow me to pursue my career goals.”

“Exercise physiology is the best major for those interested in healthcare, regardless of their specific profession. I believe this program will allow you to be the best prepared for admissions exams and give you more healthcare clinical understanding of any major.”

“WVU is a supportive community that strives to make themselves and everyone around them better, and I am glad to be a part of that.”

“The networking opportunities here at WVU, specifically in the School of Medicine, makes all the difference. Reach out to those who do the work you are interested in, show your enthusiasm and initiative and network as much as you can.”

“There are so many opportunities available if you are willing to seek them out. If research is your thing, get in touch with your professors. Explore the student organizations and find what interests you (and make some friends!)”

“It’s wonderful how much you can educate patients, but even more importantly, how much you can learn from the patient. This is an overlooked and crucial aspect of healthcare. It makes you a better physician and better person.”

“WVU may look like a large school, but Morgantown has such a small-town, family atmosphere that makes you never want to leave. The opportunities I have had at WVU and in the School of Medicine are endless.”
