When You May Need an Employment Physical

Many employers require a physical examination before hiring or as part of ongoing employment. These evaluations help determine whether you can safely perform the essential functions of your position while meeting workplace health requirements.

Employment physicals may be required for:

New hires

Employees changing job roles

Healthcare professionals

School and childcare employees

Manufacturing and industrial workers

Public safety personnel

Other positions with employer-specific medical requirements

The exact requirements vary by employer, industry, and job responsibilities. Our providers tailor each evaluation to the documentation and health requirements requested by your employer.

What Your Employment Physicals May Include

Every employment physical is based on your employer's specific requirements and the responsibilities of your position. Before your examination, your provider will review the requested documentation to ensure the appropriate evaluation is completed.

Depending on your employer's requirements, your visit may include:

Review of your medical history

Blood pressure and other vital signs

General physical examination

Completion of employer-required paperwork

Height and weight measurements

Vision screening

Review of current medications

TB testing when required

If additional testing or documentation is requested by your employer or indicated during your evaluation, our provider will discuss the next steps with you.

Bringing the appropriate paperwork and information helps ensure your visit goes smoothly and allows us to complete your employment physicals as efficiently as possible.

Please bring:

Employer-required physical forms

Government-issued photo identification

Insurance information, if applicable

A list of current medications

Information about any chronic medical conditions

Immunization records or previous TB testing documentation, if requested by your employer

If your employer has provided additional instructions or paperwork, please bring those with you to your appointment.

What to Expect During Your Visit

Our team works to make the employment physicals process as smooth and efficient as possible while ensuring your employer's requirements are addressed.

Step 1: Medical History Review

Your provider will review your medical history, current medications, previous surgeries, and any health information relevant to your employment physicals.

Step 2: Physical Examination

A physician-led physical examination will be performed based on your employer's requirements. If TB testing or other requested services are needed, they'll be completed or discussed during your visit.

Step 3: Documentation & Next Steps

If all required information is available, we complete the appropriate employer forms during your visit. If additional testing or follow-up is needed to satisfy employer requirements, we explain the next steps and help coordinate any additional care.

Employment Physicals vs. Workers' Compensation Evaluations

Although both services relate to workplace health, they serve different purposes.

Employment Physicals

Employment physicals are performed before starting a new job or when an employer requires a medical evaluation. Their purpose is to assess general health based on employer requirements and complete the necessary medical documentation.

Workers' Compensation Evaluations

Workers' compensation visits are for employees who have been injured or become ill while performing their job duties. These visits focus on evaluating and treating work-related injuries, documenting the condition, and helping manage the workers' compensation process.

If you're unsure which type of visit you need, our team will be happy to help guide you to the appropriate service.

Easy to schedule an appointment. Wait time to be seen is very quick. The provider was very pleasant. This was my second visit, and I will definitely use them again if the need arises.

I can’t say enough positive things about this urgent care. From the receptionist to the nurse and PA, I felt well cared for. Everyone listened attentively to me. I didn’t have a long wait, and my visit was quickly wrapped up. I recommend them 100%.
