What to expect These pages are built around the parts that usually slow down a hiring or compliance visit: paperwork, location choice, timing, and the exact test or exam being requested.

What most people want to know before the visit

What happens at the visit

A pre-employment physical often includes a medical history review, vitals, a focused physical exam, and any role-specific screening the employer requested.

When the visit usually happens

Employers generally use a pre-employment physical after a conditional offer. The EEOC says medical exams can be required at that stage if all entering employees in the same job category are treated the same.

What may be added

Drug testing, vaccine review, hearing, vision, TB screening, or fit-for-duty items can be added depending on the role.

How long it usually takes

Most of the timing comes down to how many screening components are required and whether the employer paperwork is ready at check-in.
