Welcome to the Commercial Driver Medical Examiner Center

More than eight million truck and bus drivers are required to meet the 13 interstate federal medical requirements. Nine of these requirements are left intentionally vague and provide a great deal of latitude to the medical examiner. Examiners may be physicians or any health care provider licensed by their state practice act to perform examinations. It is critical for all persons involved in such examinations to be fully aware of the available guidance and medical literature that should be considered as part of the certification determination. In addition, it’s important to have a comprehensive awareness of the issues involved in evaluating the medical fitness of commercial drivers.
