NRCME Certification Training
NRCME Certification Training is required for medical professionals such as MDs, DOs, NPs, PAs, and DCs who want to perform DOT physical exams. To become certified, you’ll need to complete an FMCSA-compliant NRCME training course, receive a certificate of completion, obtain a National Registry number, and then pass the NRCME exam at an approved testing center. Certification is valid for 10 years.
NRCME Recertification Training ensures you remain qualified after your initial certification period. You must still hold a valid state medical license, complete a DOT medical examiner certification course, and pass the certification exam- typically in your ninth year. Passing early wonโt shorten your credential; it simply extends another 10 years from your original expiration date.
TeamCME has already helped more than 28,000 medical professionals become (and stay) NRCME certified. Our self-paced courses are designed to help you pass the exam on your first try. Certification and Recertification courses are CE-eligible. For chiropractors, CE credit is available in states that accept PACE.
