School Physicals
What is Included in a School Physical?
A school physical at +MEDRITE includes the essentials that most schools, camps, and sports programs require for enrollment. Each visit focuses on your child’s health and safety, ensuring they’re ready for classroom activities and physical play.
Here’s what you can expect from your care provider:
– A physical examination that includes height, weight, and a general health check
– Vital sign screening, including blood pressure and heart rate
– A review of your child’s immunizations to ensure they are up to date
– Vision and hearing tests, if required by the school
– A growth and development screening appropriate for the child’s age
– Review of any relevant medical information, such as past illnesses or chronic conditions
– Completion of school or sports physical exam forms provided by parents or guardians
+MEDRITE meets all common school district and state requirements. Our team helps keep your child healthy and ready for success throughout the academic year.
If you’re suffering from any life-threatening conditions such as a heart attack, stroke, head injury, severe bleeding or trauma CALL 911 immediately.
Getting Ready
How to Prepare for Your Visit
To make your school physical visit as smooth as possible, be sure to bring the following:
- Your child’s school or sports physical form
- Immunization records
- A list of current medications
- An insurance card and a form of ID
We recommend dressing your child in comfortable clothing and arriving at least two weeks before the school year or sports season begins. This allows time for any follow-up care or missing immunizations that may be needed.
Having all relevant medical information ready will help your provider complete the visit quickly and ensure all requirements are met.
