What is NRCME Certification?

The National Registry of Certified Medical Examiners (NRCME) is a federal program that establishes the standards for healthcare professionals who perform physical qualification examinations for commercial motor vehicle (CMV) drivers.

To become a DOT Certified Medical Examiner (ME) and be listed on the National Registry, eligible healthcare professionals must complete FMCSA-required NRCME training and pass the certification exam covering the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s (FMCSA) physical qualification standards and medical guidelines.

The National Registry website is accessible to motor carriers, drivers, enforcement officials, and the general public, allowing them to verify certified medical examiners.

Healthcare professionals whose scope of practice permits them to perform DOT physical examinations, as defined by the state in which they practice, and who intend to conduct examinations for interstate CMV drivers under Section 391.41 of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs) must be certified and listed on the FMCSA National Registry.

NADME NRCME Certification Training
