I chose kinesiology because it allowed me to help people live a healthy lifestyle.<\/p>\n
I came to URI for undergrad and I loved it here! It gave me great research\u00a0opportunities and had great relationships with near by hospitals that I wanted to\u00a0work for. \u00a0The best part of being a part of the kinesiology department is the professors you get\u00a0to work with and the opportunities available to you. This department provides\u00a0excellent internships to students along with many research projects students can be\u00a0apart of.<\/p>\n
My advice would be that this is an excellent program with a lot of clinical and\u00a0research opportunities. The flexibility with the program of study allows you to\u00a0work, do research, and\/or complete internships. The professors here take a\u00a0personal interest in your success and really help you every step of the way. There is\u00a0also a lot of opportunity for scholarships and assistantship so it is possible! In this\u00a0day in age a masters degree in our field is so beneficial and it really opens up a lot of\u00a0doors for potential jobs!<\/p>\n
I have just accepted a full time position at Brigham and Women\u2019s Hospital, in Boston,\u00a0MA, as a Senior Exercise Physiologist. I will be performing various types of stress\u00a0testing in their cardiology department.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
