Dr. Mark Stoutenberg, Exercise is Medicine Program Director of the American College of Sports Medicine visited the UP College of Human Kinetics last Sept.1, 2014, just a few days after he came to observe the first certification course of the Exercise is Medicine Philippines.  The UPCHK, which aims to be at the forefront in promoting the EIM advocacy, was pleased to host the renowned guest as he openly shared EIM related research opportunities and introduced Exercise is Medicine^® on Campus (EIM OC).

Exercise is Medicine^® on Campus calls upon universities and colleges to become engaged in the promotion of physical activity as a vital sign of health; the EIM Solution.  The EIM Solution aims to link the clinical to the community in combatting today’s most common chronic conditions through physical activity.  The university/college setting is seen as the microcosm that can help bring both together in accomplishing this goal. 

Aside from involving faculty members from the CHK, fitness professionals and health service providers of the University of the Philippines, students are also targeted to be leaders in this initiative. They can serve as advocates and play an important role in the future success of EIM by becoming role models to people around them and promoting physical activity to others. They may also be trained to serve as future health care and health fitness professionals participating in EIM. 

The UPCHK would like to share the concept of Exercise is Medicine^® on Campus in the upcoming 3^rd National Conference on Sport Pedagogy, as one of the workshops being offered.  This will serve as a great opportunity to present the EIM advocacy to the different regions of the country.
