Can I get my medical before beginning training for PLL?

[Chesterspal]

I'm 65 and wish to go back and complete my PLL started some time ago.

My health is excellent, but I'd like to get cleared by am AME before plunking down $$ for training only to find out I cannot fly for some reason.

Is this doable?

Seriously as others have noted - do that first. The current FAA aeromedical process is a minefield which can easily cost you the same amount as an entire private certificate training.
