Few worthwhile life accomplishments happen without motivation, preparation, and dedication. For many professional job training programs, including private military schools, academies for military and merchant marine officers and first responders, as well as for some recreational activities, good physical health is paramount for the safety of the applicant, and for teammates and the public who will depend on their physical condition.

Applicants must have the ability to participate in strenuous training, emergency operations, and physically stressful environments. This is where Bowie Health Practice can help. Medical evaluations for professional recreational training program admissions typically include complete occupational history, vital signs, height and weight, temperature, pulse, blood pressure, respirations, rectal exam, vision exam (peripheral, color, visual acuity), pulmonary function, electrocardiogram, audiology exam, chest x-ray, and lab work (blood, urine, stool).

For patients who need a comprehensive physical examination to move forward or continue on their professional or recreational journeys, Dr. O’Brien and her team stand ready to assist. Call to schedule a medical entrance/qualification/renewal exam for these and other occupations
