Our Medical Examination Services

We proudly offer the following professional medical assessments:

Aviation Medicals
Drivers Medicals
WCB – Workers’ Compensation Board Examinations


Aviation Medical Examination

If you are a pilot or air traffic controller (ATC), a mandatory Aviation Medical Examination is required to work in Canadian regulated airspaces. Our aviation medicals are conducted with precision and care to ensure you meet the necessary standards for certification.

What’s Included in an Aviation Medical?

  • Comprehensive Medical History: Review of current and past health conditions.

  • Physical Examination: Full assessment of physical health.

  • Audiogram: Hearing evaluation if required.

  • Visual Acuity Testing: Assessment of eyesight, critical for aviation professionals.

  • ECG/EKG: Electrocardiograph testing for heart health, if required.

  • Urinalysis: Basic urine tests to detect potential issues.

At Foothills Wellness Clinic, we help you stay compliant and healthy, ensuring your ability to operate safely in regulated airspaces.


Drivers Medical Examination

Professional drivers play a vital role in keeping our roads safe. A Drivers Medical Examination is designed to assess overall fitness to drive and ensure safety for all road users.

Key Areas of Focus:

  • General health and well-being.

  • Assessment of any past or present alcohol misuse, abuse, or dependency issues.

  • Identification of medical conditions that may impair driving ability.

Our thorough assessments provide the information needed for licensing authorities to certify drivers for public and commercial road use.


WCB – Workers’ Compensation Board Examinations

For workers recovering from an injury, the WCB Examination is a critical step toward diagnosis, treatment planning, and recovery.

What WCB Examinations Address:

  • Injury Assessment: Understanding the nature and extent of workplace injuries.

  • Diagnosis: Identifying underlying conditions that may affect recovery.

  • Treatment Recommendations: Developing personalized care plans to expedite recovery.

  • Surgical Referrals: Facilitating access to necessary surgical or therapeutic interventions.

We work closely with workers, employers, and the Workers’ Compensation Board to ensure accurate and timely assessments, helping individuals get back to work and daily life.
