Hi guys, what type of medical records I have to submit if admitted to dental school and when? Thank you!

Anyone please?

Vaccine records(MMR, Varcella, etc) and a physical. My physical is due before June 1st and now I'm waiting for my 2nd MMR vaccine because I was surprisingly negative for antibodies.

What is physical, is it basically a letter from the doctor? I don't understand what should be in it? What is it?

Yes, you set up an appt at a dr for a physical. They just make sure everything is working correctly. Be prepared to have you balls touched, so don't go in with an afro.

Do they have to draw blood or something?

In that case they will check your eyes, nose, mouth, ears, listen to your heart, do a breast cancer check, pelvic exam, probably check reflexes, etc.

But yes, they do draw blood. You're going to be dealing with people a good amount during school, they have to check you out to see if you're okay 😛.

Usually you have a specific form from the school where you have been accepted, it comes with the acceptance package. This form will detail the kind of vaccinations you must have or must get before school starts, e.g., MMR, Hep A, Hep B, Tuberculosis, meningitis shots, etc. You take the form to your regular primary care physician office (where your vaccination documentation is kept) and have your doctor fill it out and sign. He/she will order the shots you haven't had. I had to get a TB chest x-ray too, because 2 of my schools (one where I got accepted, the other one where I was waitlisted) require it. Some schools require your checkup exam to be no more than 6 months before matriculation, so don't get your annual exam too early (March or later in the year that you start dental school to be safe).

Can I do it with my doctor? Or there is any specific I have to go to?
