Greg Grosicki, Ph.D., CEP

Greg Grosicki, Ph.D., CEP, is an Associate Professor in the Department of Health Sciences and Kinesiology and Director of the Exercise Physiology Laboratory. He earned a Bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology at The College of William and Mary, a Master’s in Health and Exercise Science at Wake Forest, and a Doctorate in Human Bioenergetics in the Human Performance Laboratory at Ball State University. As a postdoctoral scholar, his research focused on the contribution of the gut microbiome to the age-related loss of muscle mass and function (sarcopenia). Broadly, his primary research interest is to identify novel and effective strategies to prevent and treat high blood pressure and cardiovascular disease. More specifically, he is interested in investigating interactions between lifestyle behaviors (e.g., physical activity, sleep, diet, sedentary behavior) and cardiovascular health, inclusive of the role of the gut microbiome in mediating the protective and therapeutic benefits of health-promoting behaviors. A vehement believer in practicing what you preach, when not spending time with his daughter, he is an avid endurance athlete competing in races such as the Boston Marathon and Ironman World Championships in Kona, Hawaii.

Clinical Internship/Practicum Experience Update

Many of the clinical programs offered by the Waters College of Health Professions require a clinical internship or practicum experience to fulfill degree requirements. Pursuant to the University's legal agreements, participants in clinical experiences are required to abide by the workplace rules of the clinical site. The University is aware of recent federal requirements that would mandate vaccination against COVID-19 for those working in certain settings, including health care. At this time, we expect that these new requirements may significantly impact our ability to locate a placement for students who remain unvaccinated. As always, WCHP will continue to make every effort to place students at clinical sites. However, please be aware that we may be unable to locate a site to accept unvaccinated students, which may cause a delay or inability to progress and complete the program of study.
