Welcome to the Activity Professional's Career Development Center!
What is an Activity Professional?
The activity profession is up and coming in the field of healthcare. Activity Professionals work to meet social, emotional, physical, spiritual and cognitive needs of individuals receiving long term care. By using a specialized knowledge in the field of geriatrics, therapeutic interventions and diversional activities, Activity Professionals improve the lives of their clients on a daily basis.
Activity Professionals receive specialized training in gerontology, program development and design, management, and leisure needs.
