Yes the medical is done on the 4th day , after they inform you that you have been successful during the interview process. But you still need to pass the medical and security so they specifically tell you NOT to quit your job . They do send out the referee forms which that might cause a bit of a problem if you are not offered a contract at the end.

The medical examination is very thorough and last about 3 to 5 hours depending their workload. This is a full GCAA class 1 examination so you don t have to worry if you going to fail it after you join. First part is done in the Emirates clinic which is located on the basement of the headquarters (same place you do the interview). Second part they send you to a government hospital where you do the eye exam ( again !!!! ) and x-rays.

My advice watch out for you BMI and your waist perimeter (102 cm limit).
If you think you might have a health problem go to your doctor and try to improve your condition. They take the medical exam very seriously since you get health and life insurance after you join.

Hope this helped. Wish you good luck....

P.S. Pls excuse my spelling...
