CDME Module 6: Neurological (see Module 5 – Musculoskeletal for Neuromuscular conditions)-Module 6 Update (READ THIS FIRST)

Pdf Summary

The document is an addendum for Module 6 of the ACOEM Commercial Driver Medical Examiner Training Program. The course is for initial and recertification of the National Registry of Certified Medical Examiners (NRCME). However, this course does not meet the requirement for Periodic Training, which is required 5 years after initial certification. More details on Periodic Training can be found on the FMCSA website. The entire course is currently being updated, and addendums will be provided for each module. Module 6 focuses on Neurology.<br /><br />The first update in Module 6 clarifies some confusion regarding the certification of drivers who meet the Advisory Criteria (>10 years off medication and seizure-free or >5 years off medication and seizure-free for a single seizure). Some examiners believed that an exemption would be required, but it was clarified in a September 2020 communication to examiners that this is not the case. More details can be found in Attachment 6-1 of the document.
