How Does a College Physical Work?
During a college physical, Dr. McElya will conduct a series of tests and assessments to ensure that an individual is physically and mentally prepared for college life. These tests include a vision test, hearing test, urinalysis, blood testing to evaluate cholesterol and glucose levels, as well as a physical exam.
In addition, Dr. McElya will also conduct a mental health screening, during which he will ask questions related to the individual's mental health and history to help assess for any potential mental health related issues.
Get Immunized and Ready for College
At Neighborhood Medical Center, we know that many colleges require that new students provide proof of vaccinations prior to the start of classes. The most common vaccinations required for college admission are Hepatitis B, measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR). Many colleges also require proof of chickenpox vaccine, pneumonia, and meningitis vaccinations. In some cases, varicella and tetanus shots may also be required. If a student cannot provide proof of these vaccinations, the college may require the student to receive them prior to enrollment.
Dr. McElya understands the importance of these vaccinations and prioritizes students' health and safety. If you’re missing any of these vaccinations, we can provide them at the time of your psychical, at an additional cost.
