Walk-in school physicals and sports physicals in Davie and Plantation, seven days a week — no appointment. Bring the school’s or FHSAA’s form and it is completed, signed and handed back at the visit, and the new FHSAA heart screening for first-time athletes is done on site with a 12-lead EKG.
School physicals near you — what the visit covers
A school physical confirms a student is healthy for the school year and satisfies the form the school hands out. Students of every age are seen at both clinics — the same providers who see kids for walk-in illnesses and injuries. The visit includes:
- Height, weight and vital signs, vision screening, and a head-to-toe exam.
- Review of the medical history the parent fills in, including allergies, asthma, medications and prior injuries.
- A check of the immunization record; vaccines that are due can be given during the visit and recorded.
- The form completed and signed — school entry form, sports form, band, cheer, ROTC, college or club form.
New to Florida or entering kindergarten or 7th grade? The school will ask for the state school-entry health exam and immunization certificate — see camp, daycare and school-entry physicals (DH 3040) for that form.
Sports physicals for FHSAA athletes (Form EL2)
Florida high-school and middle-school athletes need the FHSAA Preparticipation Physical Evaluation — Form EL2 — signed by a licensed provider before the first practice. Broward County Public Schools, charter and private schools use the same form. The sports physical adds to the school exam:
- Questions about chest pain, fainting or shortness of breath with exercise, and family history of early heart problems.
- Heart and lung exam, and a musculoskeletal exam of the neck, back, shoulders, knees and ankles.
- Review of concussions, prior injuries and any condition that affects play, such as asthma or diabetes.
- Clearance marked on the EL2 — cleared, cleared with recommendations, or referred for evaluation before play.
An FHSAA physical is valid for one calendar year from the exam date, so late July and August are the busiest weeks. Earlier in the day is fastest; there is no cut-off for walk-ins during clinic hours.
The new FHSAA heart screening for first-time athletes (Form EL1)
Starting with the 2026–27 season, Florida law (the “Second Chance Act”, s. 1006.20, Fla. Stat.) and FHSAA policy require a one-time electrocardiogram screening for every incoming ninth-grade athlete and for any student in grades 10–12 playing an FHSAA sport for the first time. The result is recorded on the new Form EL1. A screening electrocardiogram performed on or after July 1, 2024 satisfies it, and a physician can document an exemption on Form ME1.
Both UrgentMed clinics perform the 12-lead tracing on site during the sports physical visit and complete the EL1 alongside the EL2. If the tracing calls for it, the athlete is referred for cardiology follow-up — without missing the start of the season waiting for a separate screening day.

Does urgent care do school physicals? Where to get one for your child
Yes — both UrgentMed clinics do school physicals and sports physicals every day they are open, for children from preschool through college. If you are searching for where to get a physical for your child, the answer in Broward County is a walk-in visit at Davie (5149 S University Drive, off I-595) or Plantation (10199 Cleary Boulevard, Suite 10): no appointment, no referral, and the form is signed before you leave. Adults who need a check-up for work, a licence or their own peace of mind are covered on the physicals and clearances page; the pediatric urgent care page covers what else the clinics see in children.
When to go to the emergency room instead
- A student who faints during exercise, has chest pain with exertion, or has a head injury with confusion or repeated vomiting — go to the emergency room.
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
We accept most major insurance plans, workers’ compensation and Florida PIP auto claims, and quote self-pay pricing at the front desk before you are seen. Bring a photo ID and your insurance card.
