Medical Examination Report (MER)

What Is A Medical Examination Report

Medical examinations can be required for a whole range of reasons, such as for immigration, employment, or routine check-up purposes. These examinations are typically more comprehensive than your standard check-up and may include a medical history review, physical examination, blood tests, x-rays, vision tests, and hearing tests. Depending on the reason for your medical examination, the tests included and the required thresholds may differ.

A is a document that summarizes the results and key findings from the medical examination in a concise and readable way. This report can then be provided to the employer, immigration officer, or another interested party to share the results and as proof of the medical examination having been conducted.

Some employers or countries may require the medical examination to be conducted by a pre-approved medical doctor, whereas others may accept an examination conducted by a doctor of your choice. Either way, the medical examination report generally has to be completed by a licensed physician.
