Insights and personalized plans to help you be proactive about your children’s health and wellbeing

Child & Youth Assessment

From early detection of health concerns to a deeper understanding of their academic and psychosocial needs, you will be given key information to help you elevate your child's current lifestyle and experiences and support their successful future.

Your child will undergo tests ranging from a physical exam with a physician, to thorough assessments of their heart health as well as their hearing and vision. If needed, referrals will be made to in-house and local specialists for additional tests or follow-ups.

Medical health assessment

You will be provided with a snapshot of your child’s emotional wellbeing at home, school, and in social settings through a behavioural assessment performed by a registered child psychologist. The assessment will then be reviewed with you and your child.

Social wellbeing assessment

Eating habits and physical exercise are building blocks to a healthy life. A registered dietitian and exercise physiologist or fitness coach will provide insights into both your child’s diet and physical abilities, assessing your child’s current eating habits along with their coordination, strength, and fitness.

Nutrition and fitness assessment

Preparing you for their future with focus and specificity

A Medcan physician will conduct a full medical exam, which will be followed by further evaluations into your child’s health performed by a team of specialists. This will include blood tests, an immunization review, electrocardiogram, and hearing and vision tests.

Full medical exam

A full history and physical exam are done by a Medcan physician who will interpret laboratory tests (if done) and provide recommendations. Other tests include an ECG (first visit only), hearing and vision. Immunizations will be given if needed.

Medical health insights

A registered dietitian will assess your child’s specific nutritional needs, including vitamins, calcium, and protein intake. The focus can also be on picky eating, the young athlete, strategies for young vegetarians and the food-mood connection. A fitness trainer will do an age-appropriate assessment of your child’s strength, coordination, and overall level of fitness.

Nutrition assessment

A session with a child psychologist provides a behavioural consultation of your child’s social and emotional wellbeing in home, school and social environments.

Social wellbeing insights

Coordination, muscular strength, and aerobic fitness will be evaluated by an exercise physiologist.
