The National Academy of DOT Medical Examiners (NADME)

The National Academy of DOT Medical Examiners (also known as NADME) was founded in 2005 by Occupational-Medical Physicians and transportation industry experts with the goal of providing the most effective and highest quality training courses to over 21,000 DOT NRCME certified medical examiners. NADME students appreciate the flexibility and efficiency of our online training platform which allows them to not only learn at their pace but also retain the critical information required to sit for and pass the NRCME certification exam.

Our Ongoing Commitment to Accredited DOT NCRME Training

To ensure progress in our ongoing commitment to DOT NCRME Training and working closely together, our medical advisory board and talented course development team combines over 250 years of experience in education, adult e-learning and compliance training to produce our online medical examiner training programs compliant with the DOT NRCME medical examiner certification training requirements. NADME has demonstrated its ability to enhance the skills and knowledge of medical examiners in the DOT NRCME requirements and regulations evidenced by our students’ 99%  pass rate on the NRCME certification exam.

Our medical advisory board provides medical expertise, content, and oversight in the development of DOT NRCME medical examiner training and education programs. It’s comprised of our Board of Directors and representatives from the medical community with relevant skills, knowledge, and experience in medical disciplines that can affect the physical qualifications and health of truck and motor coach drivers.
