Physical Exam

Introduction

Remember that you can also find step-by-step Physical Exam information in your program's comprehensive PDF compliance guide, available on your dedicated resource page! You must document a current physical exam using the required UConn physical exam form as well as a one-time color vision screening assessment you'll complete through HuskyCT. Most programs require an annual physical, but a few programs allow you to update your physical exam every two years; please refer to your program requirements for specifics.

Complete Required Steps

You must document a physical exam dated within the past 12 months using the required UConn physical exam form. Complete these steps:

  1. Schedule a physical exam appointment with your PCP, Student Health & Wellness, urgent care, or MinuteClinic
  2. If you’ve already had a physical exam in the past 12 months, your insurance will likely not cover a new one; have your provider complete the UConn physical exam form based on your most recent physical
  3. Attend your appointment and ensure that your provider completes all sections of the UConn physical exam form (note that your provider doesn’t need to complete an N95 fit test; they only need to give medical clearance for you to be fitted for an N95 respirator)
  4. You must also complete a one-time color vision self-assessment in HuskyCT (you’ll find this assessment in the same HuskyCT site as your HIPAA and OSHA trainings)

Document Completed Steps

Review documentation resources for a reminder of what is required on your documentation. How to document completion of required steps:

  1. After your physical exam appointment, obtain a copy of your completed physical exam form (ensure that your provider has completed all sections!)
  2. Once you’ve completed your one-time color vision self-assessment in HuskyCT, screenshot or print to PDF your certificate of completion
