Pre-enlistment Medical Screening

Prior to enlistment, all pre-enlistees have to undergo a thorough medical examination at the Medical Classification Centre (MCC) within the Central Manpower Base (CMPB). This examination allows the medical fitness of a pre-enlistee to be assessed and this subsequently determines his Physical Employment Status (PES).

Medical Screening Appointment Preparations

As part of the e-documentation, you are also required to select your preferred medical appointment date as well as to complete the medical questionnaire (e7F). You will need to go through the medical questionnaire form with your parents / guardian so that useful medical information about you is captured.

To ensure that your medical experience with us is pleasant and that the overall screening process is not unnecessarily delayed, we have compiled a checklist for you:

Clinical Examinations

The medical screening process takes on average 150 minutes to complete and there is a series of test that you will have to undertake.

Registration Station

At MCC Registration Counter, you will be required to submit your e7F. As a form of verification, you will be asked for your NRIC or any form of photo identification (e.g. driving license, school pass.)

Clinical Laboratory Station

At the Clinical Laboratory Station blood samples are drawn for G6PD, haemoglobin and blood group typing tests. Simple urine tests to detect the presence of blood, protein and glucose (sugar) will also be carried out for you at the Station.

Dental Station

Eye Station

At the Eye Station routine eye tests are carried out to detect eye abnormalities and test your visual and refractive error.

ENT (Ear, Nose & Throat) Station

At ENT Station an audio test or audiogram will be conducted to detect hearing abnormalities.

Station 6 (Clinical Examination Station)

After completion of all the clinical investigations and measurements, you will then be examined and evaluated by a Medical officer.

Station 6 Counter (Post Clinical Screening)

Once you have completed the above series of medical screening, you will be medically classified with a PES grading.
