CDME Review is a quarterly newsletter for health care professionals who perform medical examinations for commercial motor vehicle drivers published by the American College of Occupational and Environmental Medicine (ACOEM). CDME Review is written and edited by Natalie Hartenbaum, MD, MPH, Chief Medical Officer of OccuMedix in Maple Glen, Pa., who is a nationally recognized expert in the field of transportation medicine. Dr. Hartenbaum is also Editor of The DOT Medical Examination: A Guide to Commercial Driver’s Medical Certification, and course director for ACOEM’s Commercial Driver Medical Examiner Course. In addition, Dr. Hartenbaum has presented government testimony on this topic. Dr. Hartenbaum has disclosed that her spouse is employed by Merck.

2. Log in to the test. After reading the articles, subscribers who wish to earn CME must log in by clicking on the CDME CME Login button.
