In this video, we explain what to expect during a physical examination or an annual well-check, which is a preventive care visit focused on monitoring a person's health status and needs.

We cover the importance of measuring height and weight, checking vital signs such as blood pressure and heart rate, reviewing personal health concerns and medical care preferences, assessing the social environment, reviewing the medication list and vaccination status, discussing family health history, and performing a physical exam.

We break down the physical exam into eight parts: general appearance, head and neck exam, heart exam, lung exam, abdominal exam, neurological exam, dermatological exam, and extremities exam. We also emphasize the importance of bringing important information to the doctor's visit, such as a list of current medications and allergies, symptoms and their descriptions, and test results.
