Cardiopulmonary rehabilitation specialists work with patients who have been diagnosed with cardiopulmonary conditions, like asthma, emphysema, angina, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, coronary artery disease, and conditions related to heart attack. Cardiopulmonary rehab specialists help patients understand their conditions and manage their health through lifestyle changes and treatments that help them live their fullest, healthiest lives. As a traveling cardiopulmonary rehab specialist, you:

​

• Explain the condition and medical regimen to patients and assist them with safely resuming normal activities when they’re able

• Identify risk factors for each patient that could be contributing to their health problems.

• Suggest interventions, medical treatments and lifestyle changes, to help reduce risks

• Educate and support the patient in making key changes, such as eating healthier foods, quitting smoking and increasing physical activity

• Design and monitor a custom healthy living and exercise program

• Keep patient motivated with ongoing information and support for their healthy lifestyle
