Types of pre-employment physical exams we offer
Not all work physicals are the same. The type of exam depends on your job and employer requirements.
General pre-employment physical
A general pre-employment physical checks your overall health. This is common for office jobs, retail positions and many entry-level roles.
During the visit, we:
- Review your medical history
- Check your blood pressure and vital signs (e.g., temperature, blood pressure, pulse and respiration)
- Test your vision and hearing (if required)
- Complete the required employer paperwork
This type of exam confirms you are medically able to perform basic job duties. Most general exams are finished in a single visit.
Physical abilities test
Physically demanding jobs often require a physical abilities test (PAT). These are common in warehouse, construction, manufacturing and public service roles. This exam may assess:
- Strength and lifting ability
- Flexibility and range of motion
- Endurance
- Heart and lung health
The goal is to ensure you can safely perform physical tasks required by the job. If your employer has specific instructions, be sure to bring that paperwork with you.
Industry-specific exams
Some industries have extra requirements, such as:
- Healthcare workers may need tuberculosis (TB) testing or proof of immunizations
- Transportation workers may need a DOT physical
- Public safety roles may require more detailed evaluations
We perform many industry-specific employment physical exams in San Antonio. If you’re unsure what you need, bring your employer paperwork and we’ll guide you.
What happens during a pre-employment physical?
Most pre-employment physicals follow the same basic steps.
Medical history review
We ask about past illnesses, surgeries, medications and chronic conditions. This helps us understand your overall health.
If you have conditions like asthma, diabetes or high blood pressure, your employer may require additional documentation.
Physical examination
Your provider will complete a head-to-toe exam. This may include:
- Blood pressure and heart rate
- Height and weight
- Heart and lung check
- Joint and muscle evaluation
The purpose is to confirm that you can safely perform your job duties.
Vision, hearing & lab tests
Many employers require vision or hearing screening.
Some also require lab testing, including urinalysis. If testing is needed, we perform it on-site whenever possible to keep your visit simple and efficient.
Does your physical include drug testing?
Many employers require drug testing along with the physical exam.
We offer on-site drug screening services at all San Antonio locations. If your employer requires both services, we can usually complete them during the same visit.
What to bring to your pre-employment exam
To ensure a fast and efficient visit, please bring:
- A valid photo ID
- Employer paperwork or required forms
- A list of current medications
- Glasses, contacts or hearing aids, if you use them
Having the right documents helps us complete all the required steps of your employment physical on the same day.
