Yes, there is a large screening benefit.

A urine dipstick can pick up glucose, protein, an increase in WBC's,
blood for starters. I assume by "urinalysis" you mean a "routine
urinalysis" and not drug screening or any other testing. If you mean the
latter, that's a whole different discussion.

A urine microscopic can pick up casts (not normal), WBC's, RBC's, yeast,
trichomonas, bacteria, and lots of urinary tract abnormalities.

Glucose in the urine can be indicative of diabetes; protein, LOTS of
things; WBC's, infection, blood, LOTS of things. It is an inexpensive
way to screen for many problems, some of which can be serious.

I take it you don't want a urinalysis done on yourself? Routine
urinalysis doesn't have anything to do with drug screening.

Is there a screening benefit to conducting urinalyis at every physical?

Can you be more specific? There is no debate that a urinalysis is useful.
What context are you referring to?

Could someone steer me in the right direction for recent debate on the
clinical value of routine urinalysis?
