Preparing for Your Physical
Which physical do you need?
Physicals are not all the same. A school or sports physical, an employment or pre placement exam, a commercial driver exam and a general adult physical each cover different ground and often use a specific form. Tell us which one you need when you book so the right time and the right paperwork are ready.
Bring the form
If a school, employer, coach or agency has given you a form, bring it with you, already filled in as far as the sections you are meant to complete yourself. Bringing the form is the single most common thing people forget, and without it we may not be able to finish on the day.
What usually happens
- Your history and current medications are reviewed
- Height, weight, blood pressure, pulse and vision are checked
- Heart, lungs, abdomen, joints and reflexes are examined
- Anything the specific form requires is completed and signed
How to prepare
Wear or bring clothing you can move in, bring glasses or contact lenses if you use them, and bring your immunization record if the form asks for one. If fasting bloodwork is part of what you need, our team will tell you beforehand.
How long it takes
Most physicals take between twenty and forty minutes depending on what the form requires. Arriving a few minutes early to complete paperwork helps keep it to that.
