What is a Medical Examination Report?
A Medical Examination Report is a document filled out by a certified medical examiner after conducting a physical examination on an individual. This report contains details about the individual's health and any existing medical conditions.
The form used for this report is the Medical Examination Report Form. A certified medical examiner must complete this form to issue a medical or medical examiner's certificate.
These reports are an essential part of the process for individuals who require medical examinations, such as commercial drivers or pilots. The completed form indicates that the individual has undergone a thorough medical examination and is fit to perform their duties.
The medical examination usually involves height, weight, blood pressure, vision, and hearing tests. The certified medical examiner may also ask about the individual's medical history and conduct a physical examination.
Once the report is completed, it becomes part of the individual's medical record. The certified medical examiner is responsible for ensuring that all information on the form is accurate and up-to-date.
The most common use for a Medical Examination Report is for commercial drivers with a valid medical card to operate a commercial vehicle. This card is issued after a successful medical examination and must be renewed periodically.
