EIM OC Silver Campus

The American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) is an esteemed national organization that promotes and integrates scientific research, education, and practical applications of exercise science and sports medicine. Exercise is Medicine on Campus (EIM-OC) is a joint initiative by ACSM and the American Medical Association (AMA) to provide universities opportunities to collaborate, educate and promote physical activity. Biola is an EIM-OC registered school and has earned silver-level recognition. This allows us to make a significant positive impact in promoting physical activity in our community, and gives us access to a network of resources to implement EIM on our campus.
