General Routine examination: Patients will receive a thorough exam of their eyes, ears, nose, mouth, extremities, lungs, heart, and skin. This helps determine if a patient is at risk for any significant chronic diseases

Disease evaluation: USCIS civil surgeons also evaluate diseases, including syphilis and tuberculosis, with onsite blood tests.
