Exercise is Medicine

Get your school's EIM activities recognized!

EIM-OC launched its Recognition Program in 2014, which allows campuses to be recognized for their participation and engagement in EIM. Schools will have the opportunity to establish themselves as a Gold, Silver or Bronze level campus, based upon their activities and level of engagement. Recognition provides an opportunity for campuses to enhance their image as a healthy academic environment; emphasizing the commitment to utilizing exercise as medicine to create a culture of wellness.

EIM-OC can be activated on any campus, large or small, rural or urban. Let's get moving!

Gold level recognition is the highest level of recognition and signifies the implementation of one or several components of the EIM Solution on the University campus, with the potential of extending into the local community. Community partnerships provide real world experience for students, while providing service to the local community.

Gold level campuses must assess physical activity as a vital sign.

A Gold level campus must also be engaged in at least (1) of the following:

* My campus assesses their patients' physical activity as a vital sign?

Yes No

Yes No

Silver level recognition includes activities related to awareness and promotion, and incorporates education for the university’s students, faculty, staff, and health care professionals, as well as those in the surrounding community, on EIM and its mission on campus. Silver campuses are actively engaged in educating others on the EIM solution for both the treatment and prevention of long-term illness and disease. University students are educated on the aims of EIM in health care, potentially certified as EIM health fitness professionals, and guided on how they can play a role in making physical activity an integral part of health care.

Silver level campuses must be engaged in at least (3) of the following: * My campus hosts classes that teach students the fundamentals of EIM on Campus and their potential role in fulfilling the mission of EIM?

Yes No

Bronze level campuses create awareness of the importance of exercise and regular physical activity for health and promote exercise to students, faculty, staff and the community through engagement in any of the following activities. Bronze level campuses must engage in at least (3) of the following:

* My campus hosts events that promote physical activity?

Yes No
