About Us
Nearly 30 Years of DOT Testing Leadership.
One Trusted Network for Drivers & Medical Examiners.
With roots dating back to 1996, TeamCME was founded on decades of DOT testing experience.
Since then, our organization has helped healthcare professionals expand their practices through DOT physicals, drug and alcohol testing, and FMCSA-compliant training, while building a nationwide network that connects certified examiners with the drivers who depend on them to stay safe and on the road.
Our Story
Dr. Michael Megehee, founder of TeamCME, began performing DOT physical exams, drug testing, and alcohol testing in 1996. Recognizing how valuable these services were to his patients and his practice, the value these services brought to his medical practice, he became passionate about helping other healthcare providers offer them as well.
In 2005, Dr. Megehee was selected by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) to help design and write the original National Registry of Certified Medical Examiners (NRCME) training curriculum, establishing the national standard for examiner certification.
He founded TeamCME in 2010 to make DOT compliance simple for both drivers and healthcare professionals. What began as one doctor’s mission has grown into a trusted nationwide network providing DOT physicals, drug and alcohol testing, and FMCSA-compliant training to tens of thousands of medical professionals.

Our mission is to make DOT compliance easy, accessible, and sustainable for medical providers while ensuring every driver stays healthy, safe, and on the road. We do this by combining FMCSA-compliant training, practical support for clinics, and a nationwide network that connects drivers with certified examiners where they live and work.
