Day 24 – Optimize Your LinkedIn Profile: Position Yourself as the Medical Exercise Professional

 

Your LinkedIn profile is more than just a digital resume—it’s your personal brand and professional storefront. If a doctor, case manager, or referral coordinator searches your name, your LinkedIn profile is likely one of the first things they’ll see.

That means it needs to clearly communicate who you are, what you do, and how you help—all within the scope of Medical Exercise.

Day 24 is your opportunity to clean up and elevate your LinkedIn presence so it works for you—even while you sleep.

âś… Key areas to optimize:

  • Headline: Use keywords like “Medical Exercise Specialist,” “Post-Rehab Fitness Expert,” or “Functional Training for Chronic Conditions.”

  • Experience: Highlight your MET certifications, programs offered, and any relevant work with medical professionals or special populations.
  • Skills & Endorsements: Add relevant skills such as “Medical Exercise

  • Call or walk in and ask to speak with the office manager or referral coordinator
  • Introduce yourself and offer to leave your referral packet or schedule a follow-up
  • Be confident, clear, and brief — and always lead with how you help their patients
