Clinical Physiology and Movement Science Minor

The master's or doctoral minor in clinical physiology and movement science is an innovative free-standing graduate minor that is available to University of Minnesota graduate students. Offering a uniquely interdisciplinary program in a new, emerging field of study, the minor is designed for graduate students in clinical, engineering, nursing, public health, and medical fields who are interested in the clinical aspects of physiology and movement science. The interdisciplinary coursework combines physiology and movement science with clinical skills for research and the diagnosis and assessment of disease conditions. Developed by faculty with rich collective expertise from across the University, the minor offers students a choice of two tracks: clinical physiology or clinical movement science.

The minor is attractive to graduate students seeking a PhD or master's degree in kinesiology, rehabilitation sciences, and the speech and hearing sciences; in biomedical or mechanical engineering; in the School of Nursing; in the School of Public Health; or seeking a combined MD/PhD who have an interest in a variety of medical fields such as neurology, neurosurgery, otolaryngology, orthopedics, and pediatrics.
