You don't do the stair climb during medical that's just for fire, medical and psych is professional attire

That's how I thought I was supposed to dress for the medical but for some reason my letter says to wear workout clothes. Just like it did for my physical
I'm looking at my medical letter now and it says to wear fitness clothes and sneakers for the stairmill. Did anyone else have to do the stairmill for their medical?
You need to call your investigator. You won't be able to pull off the psych and medical the same day. I think you were sent a letter in error, you do not so the stair master for the medical. Sounds like you got a fire letter. The medical consists of the following:
Vitals, blood draw, hearing, vision, pulmonary, chest X-ray, any other X-rays doc deems necessary based on past injuries, visit with the doctor.

Thanks. My letter says it's for EMT but I'm definitely going to contact my investigator about it
Is psychological screening the same as psychological exam? Because my medical letter says "full medical examination and psychological screening"
I had to do it as well. You only go back to do the reweigh. See the nurse, go to the vital station, get weighed, bring the letter over to the nurse, go to the doctor, and then see the nurse one last time.

When you do the medical there is a time they have you fill out some questions on the computer with some psych questions. Unless they changed it the only psych you're doing is the 500ish questions you do in the auditorium with the scantron

Thanks.
Hopefully those who've recently taken their medical can chime in on if there is a new process now
This is true. Some basic questions.

I'm in the current academy class tour 3...during the refresher portion it's 15:30-23:30. Do not be late. The drill instructors don't take any crap. If one person out of 75 does something wrong they'll have you doing push ups for a long time. They're really hard on everybody for the first few weeks about uniforms and shaving but they relax as time goes on. The refresher quizzes and tests are easy, the instructors are great. They go over each quiz right before you take it so you'll always be prepared. PT isn't everyday. You'll get a schedule..I've probably done about 8-9 PT days and I have 4 weeks left. After refresher when you break into squads to do EVOC, scenarios, ops, rotations and hazmat the time changes from 1500-2300. Definitely pick tour 3 if you get the option it's a lot more laid back. Good luck

Hey I took exam 7000 and my list number is low 400's. I took everything (physical, Medical, psychological) ..... haven't heard anything after that. Have you?
Is anybody from exam 7000 in the academy?

I don't believe anyone from 7000 is in the academy currently. Maybe the next academy this year will have 7000. People on here would have a better idea

As it's been explain before and will be explained again, it's all a waiting game. You haven't heard anything cause there's simply nothing for you to hear, there's a class in the academy now that doesn't graduate until the end of September. It took me personally about 6 months after finishing everything to get called, I was finished and wasn't called for the following class 3 months later.
Just stay out of trouble and be patient. The less you hear the better, don't bother your investigator if something is wrong they will contact you. Your next contact should be a call asking if you're still interested in the position yada yada...
