Preplacement & Medicals

Employers often require preplacement or routine medical exams to ensure that the employee is fit for duty and does not pose a health risk to themselves or others.

This may include a general health check-up, blood tests, assessment of physical fitness, and screenings for specific issues that may impact the individual’s ability to perform their job safely. The requirements for a pre-placement medical examination will vary based on the nature of the employer, nature of the job and industry regulations.

Tuberculin Skin Testing

Douglas Arnold MPC provides reliable administration and reading of the TST as part of your pre-employment or co-op.

A tuberculin skin test (also called a Mantoux tuberculin test) is used to see if you have been exposed to tuberculosis and perhaps have latent tuberculosis infection or active tuberculosis disease.
