DOT Medical Exam and Commercial Motor Vehicle Certification
We are now registered with the Department of Transportation to conduct the physical examination to be a certified CMV operator. Physician Assistant Brian Chiu is certified by DOT and is available to conduct the medical examination. Call us for more details.
About the Exam
A Department of Transportation (DOT) physical examination is conducted by a licensed "medical examiner." The term includes, but is not limited to, doctors of medicine (MD), doctors of osteopathy (DO), physician assistants (PA), advanced practice nurses (APN), and doctors of chiropractic (DC).
A DOT physical exam is valid for up to 24 months. The medical examiner may also issue a medical examiner's certificate for less than 24 months when it is desirable to monitor a condition, such as high blood pressure.
Record-keeping
If the medical examiner finds that the person he/she examined is physically qualified to drive a commercial motor vehicle (CMV), the medical examiner will furnish one copy of the results to the person who was examined and complete a Medical Examiner's Certificate.
