Exercise is Medicine? (EIM) is a Global Health Initiative that is committed to the goal of improving public and patient health, and transforming health care systems in the United States and worldwide. This is being achieved by making physical activity integral to the prevention and treatment of chronic disease and regularly assessed as part of medical care, with physical activity becoming a ?vital sign? within the US and international health care systems. An ultimate vision for EIM is that no patient leaves a health care provider?s office without an assessment of his/her physical activity and receives either an exercise prescription, a referral to a qualified health fitness or allied health professional and other appropriate resources for further counseling.

This professional position requires a Master?s degree, with a terminal degree preferred - ideally in public health, although a physical activity related field will also be considered. Reporting to the Vice President, Exercise is Medicine, this position?s responsibilities will have both international and domestic responsibilities.

Job Responsibilities: - Under the guidance of the Vice President, establish new National Task Forces and nurture the development of existing National Task Forces globally - Work with the VP on the ongoing development and execution of policies, procedures, and projects for EIM?s international expansion - Work with the EIM Program Coordinator to manage aspects of the program?s expansion in the domestic arena
