THE MEDICAL EXAMINATION:

The pre-employment medical examination is usually one (if not the last) step of the hiring process before an individual enters the recruit academy. The medical examination is usually administered by a physician that is appointed by the department (and paid for by the department) and is performed to verify the candidate is in good general physical condition.  Body areas evaluated on this examination can include your vision, your hearing, any past and present injuries or medical conditions, and your respiratory capacity.

For some free information that will help you successfully pass the medical examination, visit the section on Captain Bob's website titled "101 Insider Secrets on How to Get a Badge" - once there, scroll down to the heading titled "MEDICAL."
