Is there a form for this? I have a letter saying it will be done during orientation, but I have read up that basically they send you out to get it done yourself.

Is there a standard form they fill out and send to immigration or who ever?

I'm most likely arriving in Seoul a few days early, I was thinking of just doing it then and having them fax it.

What are the tests? HIV,Drugs and? On my letter it says a physical exam, but most people say its not a physical just height/weight

I was with the August group and it was done after orientation, with your co-teacher assisting(transportation, translation). Basic physical, urine and blood work. Plus a dentist gives you a quick look. Drug and HIV are standard. Pretty uneventful, but you do have to pay for it. I forget how much. I didn't need any special forms.

The hospitals have the forms.

When I re-signed, I had to supply two, passport-type pictures.

Thanks,


I just soon as get it out of the way, but reading the contract it said "a hospital of epik's choice" so I guess I will wait till then.

So its not a turn your head and cough or drop your pants physical? lol Just eyes, height, weight, blah?

It's not actually different depending on where you are, it's just that some co-teachers don't know exactly what's needed. Nor do I for that matter, but I do know the chest X-ray I got was unnecessary (no one else in my district got one). Sorry I can't speak to exactly what is needed.
