A Physical Examination, commonly dubbed a check-up, is a test that is routinely done to check on your overall health status. A Physical Exam may be conducted by a doctor, a nurse, or a physician assistant, and is typically documented using a Physical Form, a Physical Assessment Form, or a Nursing Assessment Forms.

Physical Exams are necessary in schools to help ensure that students are well and healthy so they can properly learn and acquire knowledge that is being imparted to them. Some sports teams in school also require physical check-ups to make sure that the applying candidate is fit enough to play for the team.
