Medical certification is a formal document provided by a qualified healthcare professional, such as a doctor or nurse practitioner, that verifies a person's health status or medical condition. This certification can be required for various purposes, including employment, insurance claims, or legal matters. It typically includes details about the patient's diagnosis, treatment, and any limitations on their activities. The process of obtaining a medical certification usually involves a thorough examination and assessment by the healthcare provider. Once the evaluation is complete, the provider will issue the certification, which may need to be presented to employers, schools, or other organizations as proof of the individual's health condition.
