Australasian College of Sport and Exercise Physicians (ACSEP) Details
The Australasian College of Sport and Exercise Physicians (ACSEP) is the professional body representing Sport and Exercise Physicians in both Australia and New Zealand. Sport and Exercise Physicians are committed to excellence in the practice of medicine as it applies to all aspects of physical activity. Safe and effective sporting performance at all levels is a major focus. Alongside this is the increasing recognition of the importance of exercise in the prevention and treatment of common and often serious medical conditions, such as arthritis, heart disease, diabetes and many cancers. Exercise does not replace traditional measures such as surgery, medication and rest in many of these conditions, but it can improve recovery and greatly improve long term outcomes.The Australasian College of Sport and Exercise Physicians Fellowship Training Program is a four-year full-time clinical program which includes supervised training in private practices or private/ semi-private institutions. All trainees attend a weekly tutorial program throughout their training and many incorporate other activities such as graduate diplomas, masters degrees or overseas placements within their programs.Potential trainees need to apply directly to the Australasian College of Sport and Exercise Physicians. Entry involves satisfying a range of criteria before coming to interview.
