Does Majoring In Medical Assisting Require A More In Depth Medical Exam?

I’m thinking about getting an associates degree in medical assisting. I know that the college requires every student to submit medical and immunization records and get tested for tb and a physical but the website makes it seem like it might require a more in depth exam. It says:
AAMA and CAAHEP accreditation guidelines require that a procedure be established for determining that the applicants’ or students’ health will permit them to meet the technical standards of the program. In compliance with this provision, a medical health examination is required of all applicants after acceptance to the program. Medical office affiliates require that this health information be current and on file before students are placed for their medical office externship experiences.
Has anyone gotten this exam for this major? What are they looking for health wise? Does this just involve drug testing or something?
