Tuesday, April 29, 2025
9:00 AM – 10:00 AM CT
Location: Lone Star Salon H
Claim 1.0 CME
This session aims to present our article that was recently published in AJIM. Our article addresses Department of Transportation Commercial Driver License (DOT; CDL) medical examinations at a large midwestern company. Our research highlights variation in medical examiner use of standardized government medical forms and how this may be impacting the rates of CDL qualification, length of certification, and possibly, subsequent health outcomes amongst CDL drivers.

This was a retrospective cross-sectional study with an observation period of the entire year of 2019. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration Form, MCSA-5875 (Medical Examination Report Form) was the primary source of information. We hope to elucidate variance through a uniform modality, in this case the form mentioned.

Learning Objectives:

  • At the conclusion of this activity, participants will understand common documentation issues found during Commercial Driver’s License medical exams.
  • At the conclusion of this activity, participants will be able to detect missing or incongruent driver health response patterns.
  • At the conclusion of this activity, participants will improve documentation and clinical evaluation skills to uncover missed or newly discovered medical conditions of occupational drivers.
