Presenter: Sarah Linke, PhD, Associate Clinical Professor in the Department of Family Medicine and Public Health , University of California San Diego

This presentation describes an in-progress embedded research project that integrates Exercise is Medicine (EIM) into routine clinical practice. A combination of implementation science and quality improvement models are used to adapt, implement, and evaluate the integration of EIM into six primary care clinics. The methodology of this study will inform future implementation science and quality improvement research efforts to improve and evaluate the incorporation of exercise into the healthcare setting.
