| Dept. of Transportation (DOT) Physical Examination educational offerings. The Dept. of Transportation recognizes DCs as qualified health care providers for performing DOT Physical Examinations. This has not changed. What will be changing is that the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) is working to implement an educational program for health care providers. Those wishing to continue performing these exams may complete that course and then be listed in a National Registry of Certified Medical Examiners (NRCME). But the course is not yet available as of 12/9/08 . It should be noted that there is not a program of this particular topic available anywhere that is promised to meet the upcoming federal educational component. While some market a DOT Phys. Exam program as "the bee's knee" - the one that the feds will embrace - there is absolutely no promise from the feds to any one source about that. It is still well worth the investment for DCs to take part in such programs but not to anticiapte it will be the ultimate federal program. |
