What is Included in a School or College Physical?
A school or college physical is a thorough medical exam that assesses a student's overall health and fitness. The goal of these physicals is to identify any potential health concerns that may impact a student's ability to learn or participate in school activities.
During a school or college physical, our team will check various aspects of your child's health, including:
- Height, weight, and body mass index (BMI)
- Vision and hearing
- Heart, lungs, and abdomen
- Musculoskeletal system
- Neurological function
- Immunization records and updates
Why are School and College Physicals Important?
School and college physicals are essential for promoting the health and well-being of students. By identifying potential health issues early on, these exams can help prevent the spread of communicable diseases, ensure that students are up-to-date on their vaccinations, and identify any conditions that may require special accommodations or support services.
In addition to meeting school and college requirements, regular physical exams can also:
- Establish a baseline for your child's health and development
- Provide an opportunity to discuss any health concerns or questions with a medical professional
- Encourage healthy lifestyle habits, such as regular exercise and proper nutrition
- Detect and manage chronic conditions, such as asthma or diabetes
