Sports physicals are specific to sports activities and are focused on injury prevention. ERgent Med sports physicals consist of two parts: a health history and a physical examination. The patient and/or parent will complete a health history questionnaire and the clinician will review this. If any flags are raised, it could alert the clinician to further investigate specific issues more closely. For example, based on a specific patient’s health history, a clinician may be able to detect heart-related issues and uncover risk factors that could trigger an illness during strenuous physical activity. We can also provide recommendations to prevent issues during exercise. Most sports programs require a sports physical exam prior to participation, so schedule your sports physical well in advance of the first practice. Remember, sports physicals are not a substitute annual exams or annual back-to-school physicals if those are required by your school.

School physicals are an important aspect of a child’s healthcare. Throughout childhood and adolescence, children undergo dramatic changes in height, weight and many other physical characteristics. A school physical is an opportunity for both a clinician and parents to make sure a child is on the right track of healthy, age-appropriate development. The start of a new school year is an ideal time to complete this assessment. However, a back-to-school physical should not replace a routine, annual check-up with a pediatrician. During a school physical, your provider and ERgent Med team will assess your child’s health and family history; perform an evaluation of height, weight, blood pressure, vision, heart and other physical systems. We also pull immunization records to ensure that your child’s immunizations are up to date and within requirements for their school attendance.

• Please note: We do not perform school physicals for children under the age of 7 (requiring audiometry screening to enter kindergarten/ 1^st grade), these are typically done at the health department.
