Pre-Employment Physical Clinic in Frederick, MD

Many employers require a physical exam prior to employment, to be sure that you meet the requirements needed when enduring physically demanding tasks on the job. Additionally, we offer physical exams required to play sports, at any level, from the elementary school level to the professional level.

You will feel comfortable knowing that your primary care provider has the expertise to complete these required physical exams, ensuring your success in the future. At Elite Primary Care group, we can also begin a treatment plan, if a diagnosis is discovered during your physical exam.

Pre-Employment exams are general exams used to evaluate a person’s physical fitness and determine if he is fit to perform the job duties he was hired to complete. Typically, a pre-employment physical exam is completed once, during the pre-employment process, but sometimes, your employer may require a physical exam on a yearly basis. Your primary care physician can complete your pre-employment physical exam, which may make it easier for you to keep record of your results.

During a pre-employment physical exam, your vitals are often taken. The examiner will record your height, weight, pulse, blood pressure, and temperature. In addition to these vitals being taken, your vision, hearing, and reflexes may also be tested. Depending on the employer’s request, your cardiovascular and respiratory health may be tested as well.

During your pre-employment physical exam, the doctor may also perform an assessment, asking questions about how you handle stress and any recent mood or behavioral changes.

A physical ability and stamina test may also be conducted as part of the pre-employment exam, depending on if the job requires frequent and heavy lifting. The test will illustrate a potential employee’s physical ability and whether they can withstand the rigorous demands of the position. The physical ability and stamina test will determine the most qualified candidate with the least amount of liability. These specific tests will evaluate flexibility, muscular tension, balance, and mental state under physical stress.

The way a potential employee should prepare for a pre-employment physical exam is to gather all necessary paperwork from the employer, creating a list of health history, and ensuring valid identification is ready for the appointment. For more information, contact us today or schedule an appointment online.
