Will My School Accept My Online Medical Certificate?

We know, we get this question alot. It sounds almost too good to be true to get a medical certificate online. The only difference is they're delivered online rather in person.

Although online medical certificates are the same as physical medical certificates, it's best to check with your school on their guidelines on the use of online medical certificates.
