[MCOH-EH] Post Offer New Hire Physical

[Olson, Amy]

I have worked at three different organizations for the past 12 years and not one of these hospitals did we do physicals. We call it a New Hire Screening and we do the very things you list in your post.

There may be state requirements for some, but is anyone aware of a federal requirement to do more?
