  • Get your FAA physical (Class I, II or III) smoothly with the dedicated team at Champlain Medical in South Burlington, VT.
  • Our aviation medical examiner-led clinic handles pre-FAA paperwork, screenings, EKGs and special-issuance questions—all designed for efficient service.
  • We integrate FAA medical exams with our occupational medicine and urgent-care services so you get full support in one place.

At Champlain Medical, we know that obtaining your aeromedical certificate from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is more than a routine check-up—it’s your ticket to fly. That’s why our clinic offers dedicated FAA physicals (Class I, II and III) with practitioners who understand aviation. Our aviation medical examiner is experienced, and our staff handle the online pre-FAA questionnaire so you arrive prepared. We’re located in South Burlington and already integrated into our broader occupational medicine and urgent care services, so pilots and crew can get certified without hopping between offices.


What to Expect at Your FAA Medical Exam

During your FAA physical at Champlain Medical, you’ll complete the required medical history forms (via MedXPress if needed) and undergo a standard physical exam. You’ll also receive any required screenings—such as an EKG for Class I applicants or those above a certain age. Our experienced team can guide you if you have conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, sleep-apnea or coronary concerns: we’ll help you understand the process of clearance or special-issuance. Having your occupational-medicine partner in one place means smoother coordination if your job also requires other physicals (DOT, Hazmat, etc.). 


Convenient Scheduling and Streamlined Service

We offer scheduled FAA physical days at our South Burlington clinic, specifically dedicated to aviation clients so you don’t spend unnecessary time waiting. We also pride ourselves on using online forms ahead of time—no pen-and-paper surprises—and coordinating any required supporting documentation in advance (such as medication histories or prior reports). This efficient workflow supports pilots who want a confident, quick check-in and check-out experience. And since we already offer urgent care and occupational-medicine services, you can conveniently bundle your certification alongside other health or workplace requirements.


How our Broader Services Support Your Aviation Role

While you’re visiting Champlain Medical for your FAA physical, you’ll also benefit from our full-spectrum occupational-medicine and urgent-care capabilities. Whether it’s a walk-in urgent-care visit, a DOT or Hazmat physical, workplace injury evaluation, or biometric screening, our team handles it all. This means that if you’re a pilot who also works for a company that requires pre-employment, return-to-work or respirator-fit certifications, you’ve got one trusted clinic. Our integrated approach reduces fragmentation, supports multiple certifications, and keeps your air-worthiness and workplace-compliance needs in sync.
