Glossary entry (derived from question below)
French term or phrase:
examen clinique / examen médical
English translation:
clinical /medical examination
French term
Retired as of Jan 2019!
Native in: English
Works in: German to English, French to English
examen clinique / examen médical
However, in the same text 'Un examen médical est nécessaire avant traitement.'
Neither of these exams are described in detail.
Is there a real difference here (this is not a clinical trial)?
The single entry in the glossary doesn't apply in this context.
Thanks to all!

Non-PRO (2): GILLES MEUNIER, writeaway
When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Clinical is specific, palpation, mammography, etc. medical can be more general but I would suspect the meaning to be more or less the same here.

Lab tests would be more "biologie". Your comment goes the right way Jonathan, but for patient information, I don't really think these terms would be explained but just used as such

My words - your meaning
Native in: English (Variants: US, Australian, Canadian, New Zealand, Scottish, British, UK, Irish) 
Works in: French to English
Clinical or medical examination
Reference comments
The doctor or breast nurse will take your medical history before doing a physical examination. Your doctor will
* Examine your breasts
* Feel for any enlarged lymph nodes under your arms and at the base of your neck
Once you've had your examination, you may need some tests. The tests that doctors might use to diagnose breast cancer are described below. You may have these tests on your first visit to the hospital or breast clinic. Or you may have appointments arranged to come back for them.

it could be

examen clinique = physical examination

Clinical examination is OK too, for the physical side of things :-)
