What are physicals?

What should I expect during physicals?
Physical exams at NewMed Immediate Care begin with a weigh-in and assessment of your pulse, blood pressure, and other vital signs. Your provider discusses your medical history, lifestyle, medications, past diagnoses, and symptoms you may have.
They complete a physical exam by evaluating your heartbeat, breathing, eyes, throat, reflexes, and more to screen for signs of injuries, illnesses, or diseases. You might need vision or hearing screenings, drug tests, or other diagnostic tests.
The NewMed Immediate Care experts may suggest on-site lab testing or imaging procedures if you’re at risk of a medical concern or have symptoms of one. Your provider also addresses questions or concerns you might have about your health. They provide any required vaccinations for work or school.
What happens if I have a medical problem?
If you have a medical condition requiring treatment, your specialist reviews options with you. NewMed Immediate Care offers injury and wound care, medication prescriptions, and other treatments for illnesses and chronic diseases. If you need care from a specialist, they provide referrals.
Treating a medical problem may allow you to pass a work, school, or sports physical. Upon completion, your provider fills out any required physical exam paperwork and gives you a copy for your records.
You might need a physical every year for school, sports, camp, or work — or every two years in the case of a DOT physical.
