A kinesiologist working in occupational health wants to expand into ergonomics. How does this relate to the CKO competency framework?
Answer: The kinesiologist should complete relevant CE to develop competency before offering ergonomics services
Kinesiologists must ensure they are competent before offering services in a new area, which typically requires targeted continuing education.
What role does the CKO's Standards of Practice play in guiding a member's continuing education choices?
Answer: Standards define the competencies members must maintain, which informs what CE is needed
Standards of Practice articulate the competencies expected of all CKO members and serve as the benchmark against which self-assessment and CE planning are conducted.

Non-kinesiology training can only be claimed if the member can articulate a clear connection between the content and their kinesiology practice.
