Exercise is Medicine® (EIM) is a global health initiative managed by the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) that is focused on encouraging primary care physicians and other health care providers to include physical activity when designing treatment plans for patients and referring their patients to qualified exercise programs/resources and exercise professionals.As Vice President, I supervised all EIM activities including 9 ACSM member committees, the EIM Global Network, the EIM On Campus Program, the EIM World Congress, EIM Emerging Leaders and EIM Ambassadors program. I worked extensively with teams of subject matter experts, members and staff to update and create an extensive library of EIM online resources for health care providers, patients and exercise professionals. I also worked with over 40 subject matter experts and an online design team to create a new 15-hr interactive EIM online course for exercise professionals. I guided the updating of the EIM website as well as produced a monthly EIM e-newsletter to more than 10,000 subscribers. Under my leadership, traffic and downloads to the EIM website increased significantly, with key national organizations adopting and promoting EIM materials. I worked closely with the EIM Governance Board to create a strategic plan for the initiative based on continuous improvement science and guided my staff/members teams in executing the tactics and measuring key performance indicators. It was my privilege and honor to guide Exercise is Medicine during my tenure.
