The University of Ghana (Legon) admissions list for the 2017/2018 academic year is out and freshmen are required to go through the student medical examination exercise.
The purpose of the exercise is to identify some common conditions that can affect your academic work. The exercise involves 3 parts:
– The first stage involves completing an online form and taking a chest x-ray at the main hospital. You will need your Student ID and PIN to enable you login the online form.
– The 2nd and 3rd stages will be over 2 days and will take place in the SRC building on campus.
The 2nd stage involves blood and urine tests, eye testing, BMI calculation, and blood pressure check. After this there will be a physical examination by a medical officer of the University Health Services.
The 3rd and final stage involves the physical examination where the medical officer will complete your SME form and endorse it.
During the physical examination, the doctor will listen to your heart sounds and your breathing on your chest. Then look at and feel your abdomen for any abnormalities. The MO will also inspect all your laboratory results and chest x-ray for any signs of illness.
