I am an international student and I want to work as a pharmacy delivery driver. This pharmacy is in a hospital. I tried hard to find this job which is up to 20 hours per week and I should start my job this Monday.
There is no condition in my permit that states that I am not authorized to work in health service field occupations, but I have not applied for medical exam till now.
Excuse me, for this job, should I apply for medical exam? Who is responsible for determining the need for doing medical exam? (Employer or employee?) My employer didn't want me to do medical exam, in this case should I do it and add an amendment to my permit? I am really disappointed because of the ambiguity in this rule.
Cannot provide a specific answer but do you have direct contacts with patients ? As a delivery driver would maybe suggest not given assume the majority of your time is outside of the hospital..

Thank you so much for your answer.
It is supposed to go inside the pharmacy (one or two times per 8-hour shift) and get all the delivery packages and then deliver them to the patients who reside in different area of the city. The pharmacy is in the hospital but I think that it isn't a part of the hospital (it is a private pharmacy (Proxim)). As I should start this job tomorrow, I think that I should not accept this job position because probably (50%) it is against the rule and I am very concerned about it.

Thanks a lot for your reply. In the rule it has been mentioned "Jobs that bring you into close contact with people", but I think that I will not be in direct contact with patients. I should deliver the medication to the specified address, and most of the cases I should put them in the post box, or I should deliver them to the receptionist, and even if I deliver to the person, the person who receives may not be the patient himself, and even if the person who receives the medication from me is patient, it doesn't mean close contact.
