Physical exercise applied to heart disease patients: from theory to practice

The Physical Exercise for Heart Patients course trains healthcare professionals with theoretical knowledge and practical experience to prescribe training for people with heart disease. The program has a highly qualified faculty, an internship at the renowned InCor and a certificate from the Hospital das Clínicas da USP.

There is an excessive demand for professionals who want to work with special patients, such as heart patients and their risk factors for cardiovascular disease. There is a need to offer courses that cover this topic. In this way, the institution has a range of professionals qualified to pass on this knowledge, based on their history and experience. This justifies the creation of the course.

The course has the distinction of having professors specialized in both theoretical and practical aspects of patient care in cardiovascular rehabilitation. It also offers the possibility of practical learning, with an internship in a unit specialized in rehabilitation for over 30 years. The practical internship is optional.
