Exercise is Medicine on Campus Dalhousie

Exercise is Medicine Canada (EIMC) is a movement to encourage a healthy lifestyle among Canadians. EIMC focuses on encouraging primary care physicians and other health care providers to incorporate physical activity into treatment plans and to refer patients to recognized Exercise Professionals. The On-Campus program includes student leaders from across the country who have established EIM chapters across Canadian institutions to advocate for the EIM mission. Students host a variety of events that promote physical activity, educate their campus community on the benefits of a healthy lifestyle, and provide opportunities to train the next generation of medical and fitness professionals to implement the EIM mission and advocate for physical activity prescription and referral training in the Canadian medicine curriculum.
