Questions
We’re here to make your visit as easy as possible.
Below are answers to common questions about school physicals.
What is a school physical?
A school physical is a routine health examination that helps ensure a student is healthy and ready to participate in school activities. During the visit, a medical provider reviews the student’s medical history, performs a physical examination, and completes any required school forms. Many schools require a physical before students begin kindergarten, enroll in a new school, or participate in certain activities.
Who needs a school physical?
School physical requirements vary by state and school district. Many students need a physical before entering kindergarten, transferring to a new school, or participating in extracurricular activities. Your child’s school can tell you which forms and examinations are required.
What is included in a school physical?
A school physical typically includes a review of medical history, height and weight measurements, blood pressure, vision screening if needed, heart and lung evaluation, abdominal examination, musculoskeletal assessment, and an overall review of your child’s health and development. The provider will also complete any required school paperwork.
Can Lansing Urgent Care complete my child's school physical forms?
Yes. Lansing Urgent Care performs school physicals and completes the required paperwork during your visit. Please bring any forms provided by your child’s school so they can be completed accurately before you leave.
Should I bring my child's vaccination records?
Yes. Bringing your child’s immunization records is helpful, especially if the school requires proof of vaccinations. If additional vaccines are needed, our team can discuss the next steps and help determine what is required based on your child’s age and school requirements.
How long does a school physical take?
Most school physicals take approximately 20 to 30 minutes. The visit may take longer if additional paperwork, vaccinations, or medical concerns need to be addressed.
Do I need an appointment for a school physical?
No. Walk-ins are welcome at Lansing Urgent Care, and you can also save your spot online before arriving. We offer convenient school physicals throughout the year, including during the busy back-to-school season.
Can my child receive vaccinations during the same visit?
Depending on your child’s needs and vaccine availability, vaccinations may be available during the same visit or your provider may recommend follow-up with your primary care provider or local health department. Our team will help determine the best option for your child.
How is a school physical different from a sports physical?
A school physical evaluates your child’s overall health for school attendance, while a sports physical focuses on determining whether a student can safely participate in athletic activities. Some schools require separate forms for athletics, so be sure to bring all required paperwork to your appointment.
Why choose Lansing Urgent Care for school physicals?
Lansing Urgent Care offers fast, convenient school physicals with walk-in availability, multiple Mid-Michigan locations, and extended hours seven days a week. We complete required forms during your visit so your child is ready for the upcoming school year without the long wait for a primary care appointment.
