The Brass Ring:
![Page 3: NRCME Training](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062707/5583f84cd8b42aa82c8b48f2/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
The National Registry of Certified Medical Examiners represents the
greatest opportunity for the chiropractic profession in our time.
In regard to government and professional acceptance, financial
and personal achievement, it is unsurpassed.

National Registry of Certified Medical Examiners
THIS IS NOT A FMCSA APPROVED OR
ENDORSED PRESENTATION.
Ideas expressed in this presentation are forward looking, based on current thinking, and may not represent the Final Rule of the NRCME.

The National Registry Mission
To improve highway safety by producing trained, certified medical examiners who can effectively determine if a
commercial motor vehicle operator’s health meets Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration standards.

Who are Medical Examiners?
FEDERAL DEFINITION –
“Medical Examiner” includes but not limited to:
Mds, DOs, ANPs, PAs and DCs
(DCs in 49 of 51 US jurisdictions)
![Page 7: NRCME Training](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062707/5583f84cd8b42aa82c8b48f2/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Certified Medical Examiner:
The FMCSA makes no distinction between “non-medical” and “medical” providers.
To be a CME your state must have a licensing board, and your scope of practice must include performing physicals. UAs are
required (can be referred out).
![Page 8: NRCME Training](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062707/5583f84cd8b42aa82c8b48f2/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
We are in a Race!DC “Drivers” Wanted!
FMCSA Projects To Train And Certify
40,000 Medical Examiners in Two Years
![Page 9: NRCME Training](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062707/5583f84cd8b42aa82c8b48f2/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Winner’s CircleRegardless of the economy:
All Drivers must have a medical exam at least every 2 years. Due to health conditions, 42% must have a exam at least yearly.Also required: 50% tested f/drug, 10% f/alcohol yearly.
FMCSA estimates 4.2 Million driver physicals will be performed yearly (+ CDL/MC 2012)
Estimated Market: $500,000,000 yrDrug and Alcohol: $300,000,000 yr.Non DOT Drug/Alc: ?????? 7X more estimated
![Page 10: NRCME Training](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062707/5583f84cd8b42aa82c8b48f2/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
We have the fastest Car!DCs Offices often Underutilized, more flexible scheduling
Lower Overhead allows Competitive Pricing
Staff Underutilized- ½ of exam, 99% Drug/Alcohol Testing
Equal Status- Level playing field for all CMEs
Ethical Practice Building –get paid for potential patients to come to your office
Helps Chiropractic into other Programs. AME, MRO, CS

“Drivers”…..actually CMEs
● DCs are enthusiastic, but inexperienced at performing the CMV medical Exams
● Most DCs starting from a dead stop
● “Other” Drivers are experienced, but they may be too busy driving on other racetracks.
![Page 12: NRCME Training](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062707/5583f84cd8b42aa82c8b48f2/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Race Preparation
● You don’t win races by starting preparations on race day. Advanced preparation is needed for continuing education hour acceptance.
● The other professions have CE acceptance already in place. They have the advantage at this time.
● Those that start driving early, have a detering effect on the “other” drivers before race day.
![Page 13: NRCME Training](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062707/5583f84cd8b42aa82c8b48f2/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
“Driver” Training
Certified Medical Examiners will:
– Complete “required” training – Pass a “certification” examination
To perform Driver’s Examinations in the future, all Medical Examiners will need to be
become Certified.
![Page 14: NRCME Training](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062707/5583f84cd8b42aa82c8b48f2/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
“Required” Training
FMCSA approximates: 8+ Hours
Allowance for additional training specific to a profession– DC training longer.– Training is intensive
![Page 15: NRCME Training](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062707/5583f84cd8b42aa82c8b48f2/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Training Providers
Providers must be “accredited” by a nationally-recognized profession accrediting body to provide CEUs .
Such as: Accrediation Council for continuing Medical Ed.American Nurses Credentialing CenterAmerican Academy of Physician AssistantsAmerican Osteopathic association Council on CMEChiropractic Providers of Approved Continuing Ed
![Page 16: NRCME Training](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062707/5583f84cd8b42aa82c8b48f2/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Accrediting Organizations
Purpose:
Maximize Consistency
Provide Quality Assurance
Specific to gaining acceptance of approved training for CEs and MEs.(Objective: Remove obstacles to physicians becoming certified)
![Page 17: NRCME Training](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062707/5583f84cd8b42aa82c8b48f2/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Removing Barriers to Racing
Cross-Professional CE/ME Acceptance
Examples:MDs attending DC trainingDCs attending MD training
Does your state accept ME credits? Limited?
![Page 18: NRCME Training](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062707/5583f84cd8b42aa82c8b48f2/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Removing More Barriers
Reduce Cost to the Physician
Pre-Constructed Powerpoint Courses Available to training providers
Allowed: On-Line courses On-Line Conferences Live Presentation
Does your state allow on-line courses/web conferences? Limited hours?
![Page 19: NRCME Training](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062707/5583f84cd8b42aa82c8b48f2/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
The “Pace”Car is on the Track
PACE is a nationally-recognized medical profession accrediting body to provide CEUs. Are there others?
“Cross-acceptance” may be more likely between professions.
Board Review of individual Programs Unnecessary
On-line vs Live issue simplified?
![Page 20: NRCME Training](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062707/5583f84cd8b42aa82c8b48f2/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
State Board Choices● PACE Accepted
● MEs Acceptable (or increased)
● CE acceptance streamlined (due to expected #)
● On-line Accepted (or increased)
● Do none of the above (race car hitting the wall)
● Completed by: NRCME Final Rule (Spring ‘10)
![Page 21: NRCME Training](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062707/5583f84cd8b42aa82c8b48f2/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Keeping the Car on the Track
● State Boards are the Pits (figuratively speaking)
● Recurrent training is required at least every 3 years
● Recurrent testing is required every 6 years.
![Page 22: NRCME Training](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062707/5583f84cd8b42aa82c8b48f2/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Winning Races
● We have the fastest car on the track, but any Driver will tell you:
● Races are won, or lost in the Pits.
