I
feel fabulous! Why should I have a physical exam?
It
is important to have regular physical exams to prevent diseases and
to detect medical problems before it is too late. Most importantly,
we want to ensure that you continue to feel fabulous and healthy.
What
should I expect during a physical exam?
During
you visit, we will perform a medical history and obtain your blood
pressure, weight, and height. We will also perform audiometry and
vision screening if applicable. Your health care provider will check
to make sure that you are up-to-date with your immunizations.
Depending on your general health and medical history, further tests
may be ordered if deemed necessary. We will also make
recommendations regarding prevention, wellness, and healthy
behaviors.
How
much does this cost?
As
long as you are a full or part-time student in the Schools of Arts and
Sciences, Nursing, and Engineering, a routine exam is FREE. There may,
however, be fees for laboratory tests which your provider may order
if needed.
Please
note that there is a $50 charge for pre-employment physical exams.
Should
I bring anything with me?
Just
bring yourself!
If
the physical exam is being obtained for pre-employment,
pre-operative, or administrative
purposes (i.e. study abroad, scholarship, Peace Corps, etc.), please make sure you bring the appropriate
paperwork to your appointment.
