CME Certified Federal Medical Examiner

Answer: C - Surgery within the last ten years

Evaluating a driver’s overall health and fitness to operate a commercial vehicle involves an extensive medical history. The medical examiner is charged with assessing multiple aspects of a driver’s health and medical history. Part of this assessment involves querying surgeries over the last five years. Beyond the five-year period, however, it is not necessary to list any surgeries the driver may have had.
