Need a physical for work? Walk in at UrgentMed in Davie or Plantation seven days a week — no appointment. A pre-employment physical, a new-hire exam, an annual employment physical or a post-offer exam is matched to the job. The employer’s form is completed and signed at the visit, and a drug screen can be collected in the same trip.
Where can I get a physical for work near me?
At either UrgentMed clinic, the same day you walk in. Davie is at 5149 S University Drive, just off I-595; Plantation is at 10199 Cleary Boulevard, Suite 10. Both are open seven days a week, evenings and weekends included, and both perform employment physicals without a referral or an appointment. Bring the employer’s form and a photo ID; most people leave with the signed form in hand.
What a pre-employment physical includes
- Medical history and medication review, height, weight, blood pressure and vital signs.
- Vision and hearing screening when the position requires it.
- A head-to-toe examination by a licensed provider, with attention to the job’s physical demands — lifting, standing, climbing, repetitive motion.
- Any additional items the employer specifies: drug and alcohol screening, TB testing, titers or immunizations, an EKG or respirator clearance.
- The employer’s form completed and signed, and results reported to the employer contact.
Laboratory add-ons — titers, a TB blood test, a lab-confirmed drug screen — are collected the same day and reported when the laboratory returns them, usually within a few business days.
Pre-employment physical, work physical, new-hire physical, post-offer exam — one visit
Employers and job listings use different names for the same exam. A pre-employment physical, an employment physical, a work physical, a job physical, a new-hire physical and a post-offer medical exam are all the same visit. A licensed provider confirms you can safely perform the essential functions of the job and documents it on the employer’s form. Two exams are different and have their own pages. The DOT physical is for commercial drivers, and only a certified medical examiner can perform it. The fit-for-duty evaluation is for an employee returning after an injury, an illness or a leave.
What employers ask for, by industry
- Healthcare, dental, EMS and laboratory — the physical plus a TB test, hepatitis B, MMR and varicella titers or doses, and often a drug screen. Nursing and clinical programs have their own page.
- Warehouse, construction, manufacturing and delivery — a lifting-capacity assessment, a drug screen, and respirator clearance or a hearing test where the job requires it.
- Drivers — a DOT physical for CDL and interstate driving; a standard employment physical for non-DOT delivery and rideshare roles when the company asks for one.
- Schools, childcare, security and public safety — the employer or agency form, with the specific exams police, corrections and security and fire candidates need on their own pages.
- Office and retail — a basic exam and a drug screen, most often for a post-offer requirement or an insurance program.
Can you fail a pre-employment physical?
The exam is not pass-or-fail in the way a driving test is. The provider documents whether you can perform the essential functions of the specific job, with or without an accommodation, and notes anything the job’s demands make unsafe. Under federal law an employer may require a medical exam only after a conditional job offer, and only if every new hire in the role gets the same exam; the EEOC explains the rules. Blood pressure, vision and hearing findings are reported as measured. A finding that needs treatment is discussed with you at the visit, and you are told exactly what will be written on the form before it is sent.
What to bring
- A photo ID and the employer’s form or written instructions — the visit is built around what the form asks for.
- Glasses or contact lenses if you wear them, and a list of current medications with doses.
- Your immunization record when the position requires titers or vaccines; it prevents repeat doses.
- The employer’s authorization or account name, if the company is paying for the exam.
For employers — accounts, authorization and reporting
Set up an account and send new hires with an authorization. Exams, screens and results are handled to your protocol and reported to your designated contact the same day; laboratory results follow when they return. Companies that hire in volume can standardize the panel once and send every candidate with the same form. Request services to get started, or read the employer services overview.
Walk in at either Broward clinic
Both clinics are open seven days a week — Davie at 5149 S University Drive (Renaissance Plaza, just off I-595) and Plantation at 10199 Cleary Boulevard, Suite 10. Both serve Davie, Plantation, Cooper City, Weston, Sunrise, Southwest Ranches, Pembroke Pines and the surrounding Broward County communities. Hours, maps and parking.
Insurance and self-pay
Employer-ordered physicals are billed to the employer’s account when one is set up. If you are paying yourself, the front desk quotes the self-pay price for the exam — and for any add-on the form requires — before you are seen. Bring a photo ID and the employer’s form.
