The 3 steps to becoming a Certified Medical Examiner and 5-year refresher training instructions:
1. Eligible providers (MD, DO, DC, APN, APRN, NP and PA) can apply for a certified Medical Examiner account with the DOT/FMCSA before or after they complete this training program.
2: Enroll in our self-paced 8-10-hour program to acquire your personalized Certificate of Completion.
3: Schedule the $79 NRCME medical examiner exam using your National Registry certification number, with either a PSI or Prometric testing company. To locate testing centers near you visit Google Maps and search for “PSI testing center” or “Prometric testing center”.
The day you sit for the exam you will need the following:
1. Certificate of Completion from this course.
2. A valid state issued photo ID, where your name matches your Certificate of Completion.
3. A copy of your current medical license.
Once the DOT have received your passing test results from the testing company, you will receive an email from the DOT with an official certificate indicating your status as a Certified Medical Examiner now listed on the National Registry. Submit your monthly examination results to the DOT for all activity, including non-activity, via your online account with the DOT. Failure to report may result in your removal from the program.
More than 3 weeks: If it has been more than 3 weeks since you applied for your National Registry number, or more than 3 weeks since you passed the national exam, and you have heard nothing back from the DOT, check your junk mail before contacting the DOT directly at FMCTECHSUP@dot.gov (recommended) or by telephone at 617-494-3003. Please note, training and testing companies do not assign a provider their National Registry number, and the DOT will not discuss provider accounts with anyone other than the provider.
Refresher Training: To remain eligible for listing on the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration's (FMCSA) National Registry (NR) and as required under 49 CFR 390.111(a)(5)(i) Certified Medical Examiners must maintain medical examiner certification by completing training and testing requirements. The FMCSA will provide the required (5) year refresher training online to Medical Examiners at no cost. Medical Examiners eligible to take the (5) five-year periodic online training will be notified by email from the FMCSA.
