OPAM Workshop: DOT FMCSA NRCME Course-263074

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The transcript covers the process of becoming and maintaining certification as a Certified Driver Medical Examiner (CDME). To become a CDME, one must be a licensed physician, PA, nurse practitioner, or chiropractor, complete the training, register with NRCME, and pass the test. Registration requires meticulous preparation, including gathering necessary documents like NPI number, state license, and practice address. After gaining a registry number, candidates need to schedule and take the test, ensuring they bring necessary paperwork such as a government ID, medical license, and training certificate.<br /><br />The preparation includes studying the 2021 handbook, cardiovascular and neurologic MEP tables, and understanding statutory disqualification, insulin rules, and audiometry calculations. Staying certified involves submitting exams on the next business day, updating license information, and participating in periodic retraining, which requires reading modules on FMCSA's website. Recertification is needed every 10 years, and changes in practice address or email must be communicated promptly to the authorities.
