This course will cover core competency areas designated by NRCME, specifically designed for family physicians, NP’s and PA’s. This course assumes a prior mastery and skill set in the basics of history and physical examination techniques. Upon successful completion of the course, Medical Examiner candidates should be prepared to take the FMCSA National Registry of Certified Medical Examiners certification examination.

All Medical Examiners who conduct physical examinations for interstate commercial motor vehicle (CMV) drivers must be trained, tested, and certified to be on the FMCSA National Registry. As of May 21, 2014, drivers may only obtain DOT physicals from examiners who are on the FMCSA National Registry.

To be eligible to sit for the FMCSA National Registry examination, Medical Examiners must obtain training from an organization that is CME accredited to provide health care professional training. Please note that the AzAFP is offering only the training course. Those taking the course will receive verification of training allowing you to register for the Federal exam. For complete instructions on registering with the NRCME as an examiner, and finding a testing location, please go to this website: https://nationalregistry.fmcsa.dot.gov/home
