Children’s Physicals for School
Many school districts require their enrolled students to have a basic physical exam performed before they start a new semester and attend classes. School physicals provide an opportunity to have your child’s health and development assessed by a medical professional and confirm that their vaccinations are up to date.
The requirements for school physicals can vary based on a child’s age and other factors. In general, your provider at South Tampa Immediate Care will:
- Go over your child’s health history
- Check your child’s blood pressure, pulse, body temperature, height, and weight
- Listen to your child’s heart and lungs
- Examine your child’s eyes, ears, nose, and throat
- Evaluate your child’s vision, joints, and muscles
Children’s Physicals for Camp & Sports
Pre-participation camp and sports physicals are similar to school physicals but have a narrower focus. The goal is to identify any issues that could increase a child’s risk of injury or otherwise affect their ability to safely participate in the intended physical activities.
When you turn to South Tampa Immediate Care for any type of children’s physicals, be sure to bring any forms that must be completed and submitted to the school, camp, or athletic organization, along with your child’s eyeglasses and medication list.
The team at South Tampa Immediate Care can help ensure that your child is ready and able to take on a new school year, camp season, or sporting activity. To learn more about children’s physicals, contact us today, or stop by our walk-in clinic at 602 S. Howard Ave. in Tampa, FL.
