Standard medical clearance form?

Is there a standard medical clearance form for immigration purposes?
(Keeping this anon because my current job doesn't know I'm leaving yet.)
I'm moving to Vanuatu! Yay! Part of the process for getting a residence permit/work visa is submitting a medical clearance form. Vanuatu doesn't have a form to fill out (that I can find), so I wonder whether there's a standard form that most countries use. I did find State Dept. and USAID forms. Do you think those would work? Will my GP know what I'm talking about?

Yeah, other people can come up with a form, but you'd have to ask Vanuatu what they want to know whether or not it's going to do you any good. Give the embassy a call.
And it's not all that uncommon for a country with only one embassy to have it in New York. It's where the UN is, so a smaller country can kill two birds with one stone, especially if relations with the US are basically cordial and not that exciting, decreasing the need to be in DC.

Sorry, didn't see your last sentence - your GP may NOT know - but you'll find a list of designated Civil Surgeons on the website. Also, most countries accept the US medical report (unless its too far along - in Singapore, they had their own form and conducted many of the same tests but did accept certain results from the older US tests)
