Employment Physicals
Several professions require a complete physical examination to secure or maintain employment. This is because jobs that require you to operate large machinery or drive around large groups of people want to ensure that your physical condition will not endanger yourself or others. If you plan on working in a field that requires an employment physical, our MedForce team has you covered.
what is an Employment Physical?
An employment physical is similar to what you would receive for school or sports; they involve a complete medical examination to check for any health concerns. During the physical, your doctor will examine the key vectors of your overall health, including:
Blood pressure
Reflexes
Heart rate
Temperature
Lung health
Employment physicals often involve blood and urine tests depending on your employer's requirements. In that case, our facility has on-site labs to expedite the process.
what jobs require Employment physicals?
Many careers require regular physicals. Truck drivers, for instance, are expected to complete the Department of Transportation's physical requirements before they can operate a large vehicle. Intensive jobs like those of first responders (firefighters, police officers, health workers, etc.) also call for physical and mental exams to confirm they are capable of safely executing their duties.
