Introduction
Generally, there is no such thing as a "nine-item onboarding physical examination." A pre-employment medical checkup usually includes general assessment, internal medicine, surgery, and so on. In addition to these relatively common items, other examinations may also be included, such as otolaryngology (ear, nose, and throat), ophthalmology, and laboratory tests. During the examination, one should avoid excessive anxiety and stress, and maintain a positive mindset. If any symptoms or discomfort occur, prompt medical evaluation is recommended.

Generally speaking, there is no such thing as a "nine-item pre-employment physical examination." A standard pre-employment medical checkup usually includes general assessment, internal medicine, surgery, and other components. The details are as follows:
  1. General Assessment
  This mainly includes height, weight, blood pressure, mental status, facial expression, and physical development. Through general assessment, one can understand the body's basic condition.
  2. Internal Medicine
  An internal medicine examination helps evaluate the condition of the heart, lungs, liver, gallbladder, and both kidneys. It can help rule out heart diseases, respiratory disorders, and hepatobiliary system diseases.
  3. Surgery
  This focuses on assessing superficial lymph nodes throughout the body, movement and development of limbs and spine, and whether there are any abnormalities in the breasts or thyroid gland, thus providing an overview of overall physical health.
  In addition to the above commonly included examinations, other tests such as otolaryngology (ear, nose, and throat), ophthalmology, and laboratory tests may also be performed. During the examination, individuals should avoid excessive anxiety and stress, and maintain a positive mindset. If any symptoms or discomfort occur, prompt medical evaluation and timely treatment are recommended to prevent delays in managing potential health issues.
