Pre-Employment Medicals
Pre-employment medicals are one of Knight Health's primary areas of expertise. Depending on the requirements of the position, an assessment can include blood pressure, vision, hearing, drug and alcohol testing, blood testing, lung function, fitness and musculoskeletal assessments, together with a medical review of relevant health history and body systems.
Importantly, Knight Health states that it does not simply label candidates as having "passed" or "failed" a medical. Instead, the assessment considers the individual's ability to safely perform the inherent duties of the role and may provide recommendations or conditions where appropriate.
