annual exam
Once-yearly doctor visit
An annual exam is a yearly medical checkup, typically a general physical or well-visit with a primary care physician.
The purpose is preventive—catching health issues early rather than treating symptoms: I scheduled my annual exam for next month.
For women, the term often specifically means a gynecological exam including a pelvic exam and Pap smear.
