Pre-Employment Physical Exam in Tampa

Before starting a new job, many employers require a pre‑employment physical exam to confirm that you’re healthy enough to perform the duties of your new position. These medical evaluations review your overall health and ability to safely handle job‑related tasks. At MediCruz Medical Clinic, we make this process easy and stress‑free.

What Does a Pre‑Employment Physical Exam Include?

Every job has different physical demands, so your exam is tailored to meet your prospective employer’s requirements. However, most pre‑employment physical exams at MediCruz include:

Medical history review: we discuss your past illnesses, surgeries, medications and any chronic conditions.
Vital sign checks: body temperature, heart rate, pulse, blood pressure, height and weight measurements.
Vision & hearing tests: evaluation of your visual acuity and hearing abilities.
Laboratory screening: urine or blood tests to check for conditions such as diabetes and drug use.

Physical examination: assessment of your heart, lungs, abdomen, reflexes, joints and overall musculoskeletal health.
Functional testing: job‑specific tasks (lifting, climbing, dexterity) if required by your employer.
Vaccination & antibody review: we can perform tuberculosis, MMR, Varicella and other vaccine titers when requested.

After completing the exam, we will complete any necessary forms and provide a clearance letter if you meet the job’s health requirements.
