I've never heard of a Class C medical exam in the US... so how can you
assume he means US Class III?
Of course.. it does look like a Univ of Phoenix email address.. but they are
not necessarily in Phoenix.

In article .net,
What should I expect at my Class C medical exam. Will it be a full
physical, pee test, etc? Any advice would be very helpful.
I'm going to assume based on your email address that you're in the USA
and asking about a class III, aka third class medical exam. If so there's
no really much to it. You fill out a form asking if you have any major
illnesses, history of kidney stones, depression, suicide, etc. Then a
very quick medical exam (four limbs, 2 eyes, able to speak/understand
english, hearing test (whisper from across room), vision test, and urine
dip). The urine dip test is for glucose, protein, ketones, etc. It is
not a drug screen or tox test.
You might want to look at the rec.aviation.student group for more
info, esp if you're just starting out. The medical exam is really no big
deal for most people.
However, remember that this is an AME and NOT your private physican,
he's working for the FAA not you. Much like an exam for insurance you do
not want to volunteer information that is not requested or needed. Do not
lie, but don't talk about that one time in the summer of 1972 that you
passed out from heat stroke either
