Doctor's diagnostic tests

Medical exams are physical assessments conducted by healthcare professionals to evaluate a patient's health.

A routine medical exam checks vital signs, listens to heart and lungs, and screens for common conditions.

Specialized exams focus on particular systems: a pelvic exam, an eye exam, a neurological exam.

The phrase also covers licensing tests for medical professionals: She passed her medical exams on the first try.
