On this episode of the podcast, I sat down with Lisa Dougherty, founder and CEO of the nonprofit MedFit Education Foundation, to talk about advancing education at the intersection of healthcare, fitness, and wellness.
Lisa shared that she launched the foundation in 2017 to address the fitness industry's lack of training for working safely with chronic disease, medical conditions, and disabilities. She started with free weekly webinars, then moved to multidisciplinary university-based conferences, before pivoting in 2020 to online education.
She walked me through creating 23 online medical fitness specialist certificate programs and launching a global virtual conference featuring 90 sessions across multiple time zones with six-month access, CEUs for several certifying bodies, and high-profile speakers donating their time.
Lisa also opened up about how her breast cancer diagnosis helped motivate the virtual conference as a legacy-building, positive project.
