CME Certified Federal Medical Examiner

Category - Driver Identification and History

On August 27, 2013 a 43-year-old male CMV driver requests that you perform a recertification examination. He provides you with a Medical Examiner’s Certificate that has expired on July 23, 2013. You complete the medical examination, but before you issue a renewed medical certificate, you need additional medical reports concerning a previous knee surgery that was done back in March 2010. You ask him to return to you on September 10, 2013 with the required reports in order to complete the examination. The driver returns on September 10, 2013 and provides all needed documents. You complete the examination, confirm that he is qualified and you issue the renewed certificate. The expiry date to be recorded on his renewed medical certificate should be:
  1. March 2010.
  2. July 23, 2013.
  3. August 27, 2015.
  4. September 10, 2013.
Explanation
Answer: C - August 27, 2015.

This is the correct response because according to FMCSA’s requirements, the medical examiner's certificate expiration date is calculated as 2 years from the date of the new certification or recertification examination, and not from the date of any subsequent follow-up examination. Answer D is wrong because it is the date of the follow-up examination. Answer B is wrong because it is the old expiration date.
