NRCME Certification

nrcme-certification picThe National Registry of Certified Medical Examiners (NRCME) is a Federal program that establishes requirements for healthcare professionals that perform physical qualification examinations and issue medical certificates for truck and bus drivers. Starting on May 21, 2014 all medical examiners issuing medical certificates for commercial motor vehicle drivers must be certified and listed on the National Registry. To become a certified medical examiner (ME) and be listed on the National Registry, healthcare professionals must complete training and testing on the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration's (FMCSA) physical qualifications standards and guidelines.
