Medical Examination Report (MER)

A medical examination is an assessment of a person's overall health and physical condition conducted by a healthcare professional. This typically involves taking the patient's medical history, performing a physical exam, and ordering any necessary diagnostic tests to evaluate their health status.

The specific tests done in a medical examination can vary depending on the purpose and scope of the exam. Generally, a medical examination may include blood work, urine analysis, imaging tests (such as X-rays or ultrasounds), and other diagnostic procedures that may be relevant to the patient's health concerns. The healthcare professional conducting the exam will determine which tests are necessary based on the individual's medical history and current symptoms.

A full medical exam, or comprehensive physical exam, is a thorough assessment of an individual's overall health. It typically includes a review of medical history, a physical examination, and diagnostic tests to evaluate health status. The purpose is to identify potential health issues or risks and provide recommendations for prevention or treatment. This exam may be recommended for those who haven't had a recent check-up or for individuals with chronic conditions that need regular monitoring.
