A physical exam will require a visit to your doctor.
Medical histories and physical examinations are often required by educational institutions, summer programs or employers to verify that you are healthy and able to participate or work. These forms usually require you to obtain a complete copy of your medical history and, in some cases, to pay a visit to a certified doctor who can attest to your good health. You will also need to get the requisite immunizations or boosters if you have not done so.
Instructions
1. Obtain a copy of your medical history form from your doctor. Although the form issued by your school or employer may be slightly different than the one issued by your doctor, it is usually acceptable to simply attach the form from your doctor.
2. Ask your doctor whether you are up to date in your immunizations. Certain kinds of immunizations, like those for tetanus, require boosters throughout your lifetime on a regular basis. Failure to have received the requisite immunizations may jeopardize your ability to participate in school or work. You should ask well before coming in for your exam, since immunizations typically need to be prepared by the doctor in advance.
3. Schedule a routine physical exam with your doctor. Give your doctor the physical exam form in advance of coming, in case it requires any unusual tests that must be prepared in advance.
4. Have you doctor complete the form. You will generally need to provide information about your health insurance provider (including address and phone number as well as your insurance identification number) and in some cases family medical history.
