Completed Professional Development

Exercise is Medicine® Singapore

The Exercise Prescription Course for Fitness Professionals was conducted by Exercise is Medicine Singapore at Changi General Hospital on 20 and 21 March 2023.

The course supports more informed communication, exercise screening and programme planning when working within professional scope and, where appropriate, alongside healthcare guidance.

Status note: The displayed certificate stated validity through 20 March 2026. It is therefore presented as completed professional development rather than as a currently active credential.
Evidence Informed Programming Exercise choices consider readiness, individual goals, functional capacity and recognised exercise principles.
Appropriate Professional Scope Fitness coaching supports exercise participation, health and physical function but does not replace medical diagnosis, treatment or rehabilitation.
Ongoing Professional Development Professional certifications and continuing education are maintained according to applicable renewal and development requirements.
