Diagnostic Capabilities
After Your College Physical
Most students can submit their completed health forms immediately after the visit. If you received immunizations, minor soreness at the injection site is normal and typically resolves within 24-48 hours. TB skin tests require a return visit in 48-72 hours for reading and documentation. Keep copies of all health documentation for your personal records. If your college requires additional testing or specialist clearance, we provide referral documentation and guidance. Contact your college health services if you have questions about specific requirements or deadlines. This information is for educational purposes only and is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. If you have a medical emergency, call 911 immediately. For urgent but non-emergency conditions, visit True Compassion Urgent Care at either our Palm Beach Gardens or Stuart location.

Cost varies based on your insurance coverage and what services are needed (exam only vs. exam plus immunizations).

We perform comprehensive cardiovascular screening, musculoskeletal evaluation, and review of any previous injuries or conditions that may affect athletic participation. We follow current guidelines from the American Academy of Pediatrics and NCAA for pre-participation physical examinations.
If your college requires specialized testing (such as cardiac evaluation, allergy testing, or specialist consultation), we provide appropriate referrals and documentation. We can also coordinate with specialists to ensure all required clearances are obtained and properly documented for your college health services.
Most colleges require physical examinations completed within 12 months of enrollment, though specific requirements vary by institution. Some colleges require annual physicals for athletes. Check your college's specific deadlines and requirements, and we can ensure your documentation meets their timeline. Many students schedule physicals in the summer before fall semester to avoid last-minute rushes.
