The National Registry of Certified medical examiners is a federally mandated program that requires practitioners who wish to perform Department of Transportation physicals on commercial motor vehicle (CMV) drivers to take a training program every five years and successfully pass a test every ten years.
NRCME Trainers is an entirely online, self-paced educational program that exceeds the core requirements set forth by the FMCSA and takes approximately 8-10 hours to complete. After completing the course, medical examiners will not only be prepared to pass the NRCME examination test, but become an expert in the standards so they will be able to determine the status for even the most complex patients.
This program is available, for a fee, at:
