Exercise is Medicine Canada

Exercise is Medicine Canada (EIMC) is a national health initiative that promotes physical activity as a standard in clinical care and chronic disease management. Managed by the Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology (CSEP), the organization works to integrate exercise assessment and prescription into the Canadian healthcare system. EIMC provides evidence-based resources, training, and certification for healthcare providers and exercise professionals to help patients prevent and manage chronic conditions through lifestyle intervention. Their mission is based on the global principle that physical activity is a powerful tool for improving health outcomes and reducing the long-term burden on the healthcare system. The initiative fosters collaboration between primary care clinicians and qualified exercise professionals to ensure safe and effective physical activity programming for all Canadians.
