Abstract:In passing the 2005 Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU), Congress required the Secretary of the United States Department of Transportation (DOT) to establish a national registry of medical examiners. The purpose was to improve highway safety by establishing and maintaining a national registry of medical examiners qualified to examine drivers of commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) and issue medical certificates. To that end, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) began developing the National Registry of Certified Medical Examiners (NRCME) program to improve highway safety by producing trained, certified medical examiners who can effectively determine whether a CMV driver’s health meets FMCSA standards. In order to realize a sound and representative testing and registry program, FMCSA is developing the NRCME with a focus on those elements of competent job performance common to medical examiners coming from a variety of professional backgrounds and work settings. Therefore, in order to 1) develop a blueprint for the medical examiner certification test and 2) capture demographics for a hidden population sample, FMCSA commissioned this Role Delineation Study in 2005.
