FMCSA’s National Registry of approved medical examiners – medical professionals authorized to perform DOT physicals for CDL-holders – has been online and functioning since May, the agency announced Friday, July 20.

The registry serves two purposes, including a listing of approved medical examiners for professional truck drivers to use if they need a physical. The registry also allows medical examiners who have completed FMCSA training and testing to be listed as approved.

“All health care professionals are eligible to apply to become a certified medical examiner if their scope of practice authorizes them to perform physical examinations, as defined by the state in which they practice,” reads a portion of the registry site.

The registry is expected to change later this summer.

An announcement about the registry touted “additional functionality” for the registry after August 20.
