At AAA Urgent Care, we understand the importance of comprehensive school physicals, also known as pre-participation physical examinations (PPE), well-child exams, or school sports physicals. These evaluations are typically required before the start of a new school year or before a student participates in various school activities, especially sports. Our team of healthcare professionals is dedicated to assessing a student's overall health, physical capability, and well-being, and identifying any potential health conditions that could risk their health during physical activities. The purpose of a school physical is to: Identify potential health issues: This can help prevent problems from worsening and ensure the child receives appropriate treatment. Monitor growth and development: The doctor will track the child's height, weight, and other physical characteristics to ensure they are developing normally. Check for immunizations: School physicals often include a review of the child's immunization records to make sure they are up-to-date. Assess overall well-being: The doctor may ask questions about the child's social, emotional, and mental health.
