President Signs Bill Expanding Chiropractic Role in VA

I am a certified medical examiner for the DOT and it was good to see that the president just signed a bill allowing doctors of chiropractic in the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to perform physical exams on veterans needing a medical certificate necessary to operate a commercial motor vehicle. 
Did you know that DC's perform DOT trucker safety examinations?

Certified medical examiner and now performing DOT CDL examinations

As I had posted in April, I am now a certified NRCME medical examiner for DOT (Department of Transportation) CDL examinations. As of May 21st of this year all medical providers are required to be certified in order to perform these exams. I have now begun to perform examinations.
Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration guidelines are used to determine safe driving status. Most patients and others are not familiar with these examinations. They consist of a review of medical history, a physical examination of many of the body systems, vision and hearing testing, blood pressure testing, color recognition, and urine dipstick testing for several substances. Further testing and reports from specialists are obtained if needed. This information is used by the examiner to determine certification to drive up to a maximum of two years.
