Your METI certification represents more than completed training. Renewal affirms your ongoing commitment to professional ethics, relevant education, safe exercise practice, meaningful client outcomes, and service to the community.
Applicable to MES, PRCS, MEPD, and AMES certifications.
Every two years, METI-certified professionals demonstrate ongoing learning, professional accountability, and the ethical commitment required to work cooperatively with medical referral sources while providing exercise-only services.

METI recognizes several approaches to continuing professional development. Choose a qualifying pathway that reflects your interests and work setting, then document the hours using the corresponding evidence.
Complete ten hours of eligible METI online courses, on-site workshops, or medical exercise-related continuing education. Deepen the knowledge you use with clients and medical referral sources.
Complete ten hours of medical exercise or post-rehabilitation education taught by an appropriately credentialed healthcare professional, such as a physician, PT, OT, chiropractor, nurse, or athletic trainer.
Complete ten hours in an appropriate rehabilitation, sports medicine, physical therapy, chiropractic, athletic training, or related setting under qualified professional supervision. This is observation or authorized support—not independent healthcare treatment.
Complete ten hours of volunteer service through a church, nonprofit, shelter, or organization serving people in need. Service may be unrelated to exercise or wellness. This is an opportunity to give back and strengthen your role in your community.
Medical Exercise Professionals must become respected, contributing members of the communities they serve. The humanitarian pathway recognizes that commitment through verified service to people and organizations in need.

Every two years. Complete the qualifying hours, ethics requirement, documentation, and applicable fee for the renewal cycle.
Yes. The humanitarian service option allows ten hours of volunteer work with a church, nonprofit, shelter, or community organization serving people in need. Food distribution, outreach support, and other supervised charitable services may qualify; the work does not have to involve exercise or wellness.
It must be on the organization's official letterhead, name the volunteer, confirm service dates and activities, document at least ten hours, and be signed by the director or supervisor who verified those hours.
Yes. METI's published renewal policy recognizes a combination of relevant coursework and supervised clinical observation totaling ten hours. Contact METI before mixing humanitarian service with those hours, because that combination is not specifically addressed in the attached guidance.
No. The Medical Exercise Professional Ethics course and competency quiz remain mandatory, regardless of which ten-hour pathway you select.
The current standard renewal checkout lists $50. For certificates expired more than one year, the existing website also references a separate reinstatement fee. Contact METI before paying if your certificate has been expired for an extended period.
If this is your first renewal and you have not completed the Medical Exercise Foundations content, an additional Foundations requirement may apply. Contact METI with your original certificate before proceeding; earlier materials describe different access arrangements.
The policy covers MES, PRCS, MEPD, and AMES. Contact the METI office to confirm how your individual certification records and renewal payment should be processed.
No. METI certification documents professional exercise education. It does not license the practice of medicine, physical therapy, chiropractic, or other regulated clinical treatment. MedExPROs remain within an exercise-only scope and coordinate appropriately with licensed healthcare professionals.
Founded in 1994, the Medical Exercise Training Institute continues to promote safe, accountable, exercise-only services that help bridge the gap after medical and rehabilitation care.
METI's approach is grounded in decades of physical therapy, rehabilitation, and professional education experience. Our goal is to help MedExPROs demonstrate competence through ethical practice, appropriate documentation, provider communication, functional outcomes, and service to their communities.
