Why would a job require a physical?

If you’ve recently been offered a job, then you might have been asked to get a pre-employment physical exam. This is quite common in many fields of work because the exam can help protect an employer from work-related lawsuits, and it can also help ensure you’re healthy and capable of performing the job. The exam is also an opportunity for you to speak with an urgent care medical professional about your health and wellness!

Additionally, your employer may need to know certain things about you, like whether you’re abusing drugs or alcohol. This is a legitimate concern for an employer and another reason for a pre-employment physical.

Let’s get into what you can expect during your physical.

What does a pre-employment physical exam consist of?

Generally, this type of physical exam isn’t so different from a regular physical exam. However, there may be some differences, and our physical might be different depending on the field you work in. You can expect something similar to the following:

• The doctor will ask you general health questions like how active you are outside of work
• You’ll be able to bring up any health concerns you have, if any
• The doctor will measure your vitals, like your blood pressure
• A visual examination will be performed
• Your hearing, vision, motor skills, reflexes, speech, etc. will be tested
• You may also be tested for drug and/or alcohol use, especially if your job involves driving or operating heavy machinery

After your physical, the doctor will provide you with any paperwork you need to see and take back to your employer. That’s it! You can expect the experience to be pretty simple and convenient for you, especially if you have your physical done at urgent care.
