A member asked:
Who does school physical?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nurse: Most physicals especially in the very young are done by the school nurse to pick up major issues, vision problems and hearing problems. It is not a complete exam but is designed to protect other students and to a small extent the one getting the physical. Physicals are more elaborate for the purpose of clearing students for athletic endeavor; usually done by a physician.
