Exercise is Medicine Canada at UofT

Exercise is Medicine Canada at UofT is the University of Toronto campus division of Exercise is Medicine Canada, an initiativ What is Exercise is Medicine Canada?

As a new group on campus as of Sept 2014, EIMC at UofT strives to grow and promote the ideas of Exercise is Medicine Canada within the student community and beyond. Exercise is Medicine Canada (EIMC) provides national leadership in promoting physical activity as a chronic disease prevention and management strategy to improve the health of Canadians. EIMC is a movement to make Canadians healthier. EIMC is based upon abundant evidence that physical activity and exercise reduce the risk of chronic disease and the belief that:
- Most Canadians can find simple ways to incorporate physical activity and exercise into their daily routines;
-More should be done to address physical activity and exercise in the healthcare setting; physical activity and exercise should be incorporated as a key health indicator and standard of medical care as a 'vital sign'; and
-Certified exercise professionals serve as important resources for Canadians and their healthcare providers. Goals of the EIMC on Campus @ the University of Toronto:

1) Promote inter-professional discussion and learning about exercise
2) Strive to promote physical activity as a means of treatment and prevention of illness within the student population.
3) Develop strong relationships between health professions to build resources, advocates and supporters of prescribing exercise as a means of treatment and disease prevention.
