Students entering a Maryland public school for the first time need a physical examination recorded on the form designated by the State Department of Education and the Department of Health. Parents complete the health history, and the examining physician or nurse practitioner completes the school health assessment so the school nurse knows about diagnoses, emergency needs, medications and activity limits.
The parent or guardian completes Part I, the health assessment history, and signs it. A physician or nurse practitioner completes Part II, the school health assessment, or attaches a copy of the child's physical examination instead.

Record of Student Physical Exam
A form is listed only after its name and number were confirmed on the issuing agency’s or insurer’s own website, or in the form itself. Each entry links to that source. The list was last checked in October 2026. Forms and their requirements change without notice, so check the official page for the current version before you complete one.

The instructions to parents say a physical examination by a physician or certified nurse practitioner must be completed within nine months before entering the Maryland public school system or within six months after entering. It applies to students entering a Maryland public school for the first time.
Yes. The form says Part II must be completed by a physician or nurse practitioner, or a copy of the child's physical examination must be attached. Part I, the parent's health history, still needs to be completed and signed.
Part II asks whether the child is on medication and for the medication and diagnosis, but a separate medication administration form must be completed for each medication given in school.
