Along with the program-specific requirements listed below, please read the
General Information section of
this
website for requirements that apply to all major fields.
The clinical physiology and movement science postbaccalaureate certificate program is aimed at D.N.P. and M.D. fellows in nursing and medicine as well as professionals in clinical fields such as physical, occupational, and speech therapy. In addition, engineers working in the area of medical technology or medical device development are potential candidates. The interdisciplinary coursework combines physiology and movement science with clinical skills for research and the diagnosis and assessment of disease conditions. Students have the option to tailor the program to their individual needs and interest. They may select from a list of more than 30 courses. Developed by faculty with a rich collective expertise from across the University, the programs offer students a choice of two tracks: clinical physiology and clinical movement science.
Program Delivery
Prerequisites for Admission
The preferred undergraduate GPA for admittance to the program
is 3.00.
Students wishing to pursue the certificate program must have completed a bachelor's degree, preferably in an allied health sciences or natural science field.
Special Application Requirements:
If the individual is applying for a certificate and is not currently enrolled in a graduate program at the University of Minnesota, two letters of support will be requested and a GPA of 3.0 or greater (or equivalent if there were a different student evaluation system) from a previous graduate program will be required. Submission package includes: clinical physiology and movement science application form, resume or curriculum vitae, transcripts, two letters of support, and documented language proficiency.
International applicants must submit score(s) from one of the following tests:
The preferred English language test is Test of English as Foreign Language.
Key to test
abbreviations
(TOEFL).

Program Requirements
Use of 4xxx courses toward program requirements is permitted under certain conditions with adviser approval.
A minimum GPA of 3.00
is required for students to remain in good standing.
Program Sub-plans
Students are required to complete one of the following sub-plans.
Students may not complete the program with more than one sub-plan.
Clinical Movement Science
Clinical movement science is a new, interdisciplinary field of study focusing on human movement dysfunctions due to neurological or orthopedic diseases or diminished physical activity. This new field bridges the gap between basic and clinical sciences by crossing the boundaries of traditional disciplines of neurology, neurophysiology, kinesiology, and physical and occupational therapy. The postbaccalaureate certificate requires a minimum of 12 semester credits. The curriculum includes a required core course that covers the theory and application of clinical physiology and movement science. Elective courses are chosen from a broad list of offerings in departments such as kinesiology, public health, rehabilitation science, and otolaryngology.
The course, Introduction to Clinical Physiology and Movement Science, serves as a required core course for all students seeking a certificate. Additional elective courses will be selected in consultation with the faculty adviser and approved by the director of graduate studies (DGS), in order to satisfy the requirements for the certificate. The specific courses chosen will depend on the background and goals of the individual student.

Clinical Physiology
This sub-plan is optional and does not fulfill the sub-plan requirement for
this program.
Clinical physiology is a branch of physiology that bridges basic physiology and clinical medicine. It joins the gap between basic and clinical sciences by crossing the boundaries of traditional disciplines of neurology, neurophysiology, kinesiology, and physical and occupational therapy. The postbaccalaureate certificate requires a minimum of 12 semester credits. The curriculum includes a required core course that covers the theory and application of clinical physiology and movement science. Elective courses are chosen from a broad list of offerings in departments such as kinesiology, public health, rehabilitation science, and otolaryngology.
The course, Introduction to Clinical Physiology and Movement Science, serves as a required core course for all students seeking a certificate. Additional elective courses will be selected in consultation with the faculty adviser and approved by the director of graduate studies (DGS), in order to satisfy the requirements for the certificate.
