Medical history in autobiography?

In our autobiography, we are asked to:

 

"briefly describe your personal medical history including the date an outcome of your most recent medical examination. Use this section to include word of any medical problems or time missed from studies due to illness."

 

Does this seem a little strange to anyone else? If we are generally in good health, do they really need to know what our last medical examination was for? What should we include in this section if we have no serious medical problems?

Yes its strange... yes it makes no sense... and yes it was there when I applied and was accepted so very long ago.

 

It had never been entirely clear what the goal was, so I just put a line along the lines of:

 

"My last medical examination on DATE with Dr. G gave me a clean bill of health"

 

Hope that helps,

Medicator
