What patients should bring to the school and sports physical appointment
To receive a school or sports physical, students must bring their immunization record (shot record) to the appointment. The BACH patient-centered medical home teams offer walk-in hours for immunization services to BACH enrolled patients from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. Immunizations may also be given before or after the school or sports physical examination is scheduled. For a listing of immunization requirements for the Department of Defense Education Activity, Kentucky and Tennessee Schools, visit the following sites: http://www.dodea.edu/StudentServices/upload/Immunization_Requirements_SY1516.pdf

If other medical concerns arise during the school or sports physical examination, a follow-up appointment should be scheduled with your PCM in order to ensure proper time and attention is devoted to the medical need.

Routine physical exams are valid for one year and are required for the following students:

• any child entering Christian County or Clarksville-Montgomery County schools for the first time
• any student participating in school organized sports
• any youth participating in Fort Campbell’s organized sport programs
• any adolescent who enrolls in the 6th grade in Christian County or Fort Campbell Schools
• any adolescent who is entering the 7th grade in Tennessee

If your child had a school physical completed at one of BACH’s Medical Homes within the last 6-12 months and has had no medical changes, it will not be necessary to receive another school physical. BACH medical home patients who do not need a new physical may contact their care team to have the required school forms completed. Paperwork may take up to three business days to complete.
