Family First Medical Practice does more than just provide routine care for people in California. We are also happy to give professionals the exams they need to secure their dream jobs. One of the most unique certifications we carry is the Aviation Medical Exam (or AME for short).
This examination is only available from accredited medical practices and is necessary for people who are pursuing careers as pilots. Learn more about the different levels of certification and what an exam entails below.

Once we run through these concerns, we can medically certify you to be a pilot based on your results!
