Does anyone know if the medical exam results required for GEPIK teachers go to Immigration or to the school?

I came to Korea on an F-4 visa and did not need medical exam results for my ARC registration. However, my school says I still need to take the exam and to give the results to the school. Is this standard procedure? My understanding was that the medical exam was for Immigration purposes only...

Thanks in advance for anyone's help.

Yes, you don't need one for visa, but you need one for the job. Not just teaching, for any job you'll need a med exam.

I work with a guy on an F-4 visa and we went to the hospital together for the medical check. The medical check is not for immigration, but for your school. And they want you to foot the bill.
