ACSM and BISM co-developed the Exercise Prescription for Physicians certificate for medical professionals with a genuine interest to promote the implementation of safe and effective exercise programming based on the best practices and scientific evidence-based information. Participants must provide evidence of a medical degree to participate in the course.

The curriculum associated with this course will focus on five categories of professional domains that include: 

1) patient assessment, 

2) exercise testing, 

3) exercise prescription, 

4) exercise training and leadership, 

5) legal and professional responsibilities.
