ACSM doesn’t have a campus or student body, and you can’t get a degree from ACSM. Our organization is a college in the sense that ACSM members and certified sports medicine and exercise science professionals form a community that shares a common purpose — advancing health through science, education and medicine.
Our membership can be broken down into four primary categories: students, alliance of health & fitness professionals, professionals (faculty, researchers and physicians) and professionals in training. Members work and study in a variety of disciplines across the fields of exercise science and sports medicine.
Become an ACSM member! Members serve on committees, contribute to ACSM publications and run for leadership positions.
Absolutely! Reach qualified candidates by posting an employment ad on the ACSM Career Center: https://careers.acsm.org/
