About this course

ACSM’s premier strategic health initiative - Exercise is Medicine® (EIM) offers significant opportunities, in particular EIM’s programming with colleges and universities (EIM – On Campus). There is potential to educate future professionals, strengthen connections with community-based programs, and empower the next generation of fitness and healthcare leaders to use movement to enhance health and well-being. It is imperative that we are educators in a time where other avenues are disappearing.
