Hospitals, cancer centers, universities, rehabilitation clinics and fitness organizations use CETI to build oncology exercise capability into their staff — and to give their patients somewhere qualified to go.
24 years · 20,000+ specialists trained · 60 countries · Curriculum guided by a 23-member Medical Advisory Board · CEU-approved by seven bodies internationally
Exercise is now part of standard guidance across the cancer care continuum. Referral capacity hasn’t kept up.
General fitness qualifications don’t cover surgical contraindications, lymphedema risk, treatment side effects, or how any of it changes what’s safe to program. So oncologists give sound advice, and patients are left to find their own way — or don’t move at all.
Training your existing staff closes that loop internally: survivorship programming you can stand behind, delivered by people who already know your patients.
Train rehabilitation staff, exercise physiologists, nurse navigators and survivorship coordinators. Build a survivorship exercise program with a defensible clinical foundation, or create an internal referral pathway instead of sending patients out untracked.

A club that put its own staff through CETI training and built the survivorship program around them.
Claremont did the thing this page is describing: they trained their team rather than hiring one specialist, so the capability sits with the organization instead of walking out the door when one person leaves.
Andrea taught the course on site — lymph node dissection, surgical procedures, contraindications and assessment — to the staff who would be delivering the programming.
“Thank you for all your hard work and effort that you put in to make this course, as well as to continually keep it up to date. I’ve taken MANY certificates in various niches over the years and this is BY FAR the most detailed and helpful course.”
“The CES training was absolutely superb. The content was extremely informative and incredibly useful. I have attended several trainings before but I can’t recall any of them having such a strong impact. Each presentation was recorded, giving participants the ability to review as necessary. This is invaluable.”
“My clients are referred to me by physical therapists, occupational therapists and physiotherapists — pre and post spinal surgery, knee replacement, hip replacement, cancer survivors. The content of each unit was without question personally and professionally relevant.”

Their staff qualified as OncoVie® Cancer Exercise Specialists together — the pattern most institutions follow. One cohort, the same curriculum, the same examination, so that everyone programming for a cancer client in the building is working from the same understanding of surgery, treatment side effects and what is safe to load.

Three ways to get one: fill in the quote form — it asks the questions we would ask anyway, so the first reply is a real answer rather than a request for more information — or call 1-503-502-6776, or email andrea@thecancerspecialist.com.
We invoice directly. We are not able to process purchase orders.
Yes. Staff can work self-paced within a 180-day window, or join a structured monthly Zoom-guided cohort with weekly webinars. Most institutions mix both depending on the team.
