Rev. ed. of: The DOT medical examination: a guide to commercial drivers' medical certification / Natalie P. Hartenbaum, editor. 4th ed. c2008.

"AN ESSENTIAL RESOURCE FOR DOT MEDICAL EXAMINERS - NOW REVISED AND UPDATED! First published more than 23 years ago, this now classic guide to the Commercial Driver Medical Examination (CDME) has been revised and updated. The Seventh edition collates the most recent "official" guidance from FMCSA, recommendations from FMCSA advisory groups (that have not been formally adopted), and the medical literature, and clarifies many of the confusing issues that have arisen from the NRCME. NEW IN THIS EDITION: Important updates on: Diabetes standards, Impact of medical and recreational marijuana driver certification, Updated regulations, references, and forms, Links to source documents, and an expansive Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) section. Available as a package in both print and electronic formats, the electronic version will be updated at least twice per year to keep you abreast of future changes in regulations and recommendations"--

All providers of DOT Medical Exams are now required to be trained and tested for certification. After May 21, 2014, only Certified Medical Examiners will be able to perform these services. This practice test is expanded from the eight required core curriculum set forth by the FMCSA and the NRCME. Clinical questions are based upon general knowledge of the regulation and advisory criteria needed to be known. These are not the actual test questions, but as with any practice test, a guide to your current understanding of the material.

The US Department of Justice's National Institute of Justice (NIJ) asked the Institute of Medicine (IOM) of The National Academies to conduct a workshop that would examine the interface of the medicolegal death investigation system and the criminal justice system. NIJ was particularly interested in a workshop in which speakers would highlight not only the status and needs of the medicolegal death investigation system as currently administered by medical examiners and coroners but also its potential to meet emerging issues facing contemporary society in America. Additionally, the workshop was to highlight priority areas for a potential IOM study on this topic. To achieve those goals, IOM constituted the Committee for the Workshop on the Medicolegal Death Investigation System, which developed a workshop that focused on the role of the medical examiner and coroner death investigation system and its promise for improving both the criminal justice system and the public health and health care systems, and their ability to respond to terrorist threats and events. Six panels were formed to highlight different aspects of the medicolegal death investigation system, including ways to improve it and expand it beyond its traditional response and meet growing demands and challenges. This report summarizes the Workshop presentations and discussions that followed them.
