The program is completed entirely online and delivered by Nurse Practitioners. The program is divided into 12 subject modules with over 120 practice test questions. The entire course takes the typical participant approximately 9 hours to complete and the Certificate of Completion is provided after successfully completing the entire program and the final evaluation is submitted. After completion of the course a study guide with resources will be emailed. 

The study guide includes 150 practice exam questions with answers and rationales for each. The guide is organized by module with practice exam questions presented together followed by the answers and rationale statements with links in the next section. Additional lists of recommended NRCME and FMCSA resources/links are included at the end. The National Registry of Certified Medical Examiners (National Registry) was developed by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) to improve highway safety and driver health by requiring that medical examiners be trained and certified to effectively determine whether a Commercial Motor Vehicle (CMV) driver meets FMCSA’s physical qualification standards. 

The goal of the National Registry program is to promote and preserve the highest level of professional standards of training and care among medical examiners. To further that goal, the National Registry program requires that medical examiners performing CMV driver examinations be trained and certified. 

This course offers 9.0 AANP CE Credit. 

This ME training course conforms to FMCSA’s training curriculum modules and topics on regulations and guidelines for conducting CMV driver medical examinations. FMCSA regulations and guidelines are reviewed regularly, and the training is updated as required.
