Movement and Population Health

2 units

Learners will integrate the foundations of movement and the movement system through a population health framework. The movement system practitioner's role in health promotion and prevention will prepare the learner to promote health and prevent movement-related problems for populations, groups, and individuals across the lifespan. Learners will be guided in the understanding of social and structural systems, moving beyond the health care system, and how they impact the health of society and the individual. The learner will continue to develop the patient-client relationship and begin to demonstrate the communication skills necessary to work in interprofessional teams to promote health and prevent movement-related problems.
