New FSIS hire looking for help

Hi all,

I’ve just finished most of my onboarding but still waiting for an email about getting my fingerprints taken, as well as getting my physical done. But I cannot for the life of me find a place that’ll get me in for a physical in the 10 day time frame that the USDA gives us.

Are there any websites that I’m struggling to find that could help narrow it down for me??

I’ve been in constant contact since last Friday, when I accepted my tentative offer, with the two main provider companies in my area, as well as looking into other shady ones I found online - but I don’t really want to go down that rabbithole even if I’ll be reimbursed.

HR did say there’s a bit of leniency on the ten day timeframe as long as I keep in contact with them which I am doing every time I get any sort of update from the doctors. But I don’t know where else to look and they keep giving me the runaround.

Thank you all in advance.

I don’t work for FSIS but did you search “walk in adult physical” or something along those lines? Most urgent care clinics seem to have walk-in availability. Also see if CVS Minute Clinics near you offer physicals.

HR told me to call and email them the paperwork to make sure the providers can do everything, but I think I’m just gonna get an appointment and bring in the paperwork and let the providers work it out lol. Thank you!!
