Pre-enlistment Medical Screening
Prior
to enlistment, all pre-enlistees have to undergo a thorough medical
examination at the Medical Classification Centre (MCC) within the
Central Manpower Base (CMPB). This examination allows the medical
fitness of a pre-enlistee to be assessed and this subsequently
determines his Physical Employment Status (PES).
Medical Screening Appointment Preparations
As
part of the e-documentation, you are also required to select your
preferred medical appointment date as well as to complete the medical
questionnaire (e7F). You will need to go through the medical
questionnaire form with your parents / guardian so that useful medical
information about you is captured.
To ensure that your medical
experience with us is pleasant and that the overall screening process is
not unnecessarily delayed, we have compiled a checklist for you:
- Print out a copy of the medical questionnaire (e7F) and ensure that your parent / guardian and you sign on the printed document. Bring the e7F on the day of your medical appointment at MCC.
- Avoid wearing contact lenses. Wear your spectacles as you will be required to undergo eye checks.
- Wear loose fitting clothes (e.g. shorts) to facilitate physical examination.
- Bring along any medical documents to support your existing medical condition (if any).
- Health Booklet (if any).
