Statement of Need:?The opportunity for a truck or motorcoach driver to drive on the highway when he or she has a serious medical condition exposes the public to an unacceptable risk and significantly increases the likelihood of a death or injury to occur. To prevent this from happening, federal Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations require truck and motorcoach drivers to pass a rigid physical exam designed to ensure that they are physically qualified to drive. However, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has found that "serious flaws exist in the medical certification process for commercial vehicle drivers. In fact, according to the NTSB: "The lack of thorough and accurate DOT physical examinations has reached epidemic proportions."
Accordingly, medical professionals who perform driver physical examinations have a critical need to know, understand, and comply with the DOT requirements that govern driver physical qualifications before they perform driver physical examinations. NADME's training program and certification examination are intended to address the serious flaws identified by the NTSB.
