Exercise is medicine (EIM) is a global health initiative managed by the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) that is committed to the belief that physical activity should be regularly assessed and “treated” as part of all health care.
The Behaviour Change Counselling Development Program (BCCDP) develops an essential skillset that primary health care (PHC) providers can use in supporting patients to improve their health. Please see this practice support program for more information
Two self-directed e-modules have been created to support individuals who are interested in starting and sustaining health goals. See below for information and links to these e-modules. They can also be found at www.healthyns.ca.
