What Happens During a Work-Related Physical Exam?

During a work-related physical exam, an Urgent Care of Kansas provider will check your overall health and look for possible symptoms of illness or chronic conditions that may keep you from performing the duties of your job. The tests your provider recommends will depend on the type of physical examination being conducted. You’ll review your medical health history and job information with your Urgent Care of Kansas provider, if applicable. Your provider will usually check:

• Vital signs – such as blood pressure, heart rate, and temperature.
• Your heart – to detect possible signs of heart disease.
• Your lungs – to listen for any wheezing or difficulty breathing.
• Your abdomen – to check on the health of your liver, bowels, and other organs.
• Your skin – skin problems can be signs and symptoms of other underlying illnesses.

How to Prepare for a Work-Related Physical?

Before you visit your local Urgent Care of Kansas for a work-related physical or screening, please gather any paperwork from your employer as well as any medical information to bring to your visit so our providers can better understand your medical history, such as:

• Valid driver’s license, state/federal/local issued ID, or employer issued badge.
• List of current medications.
