Why Aren't RT Students Trained in Physical Activity?
From HealthDay News, August 27th: More and more Americans are sliding into obesity, a clear signal that this national health problem is getting worse.
Can RTs help clients deal with obesity? I think so. Yet, most RTs have little training in the area of physical activity.
I would call on RT educators to demand that RT students take at least one course on the theory and practice of physical activity. NCTRC should also emphasize physical activity as one component in RT preparation.
