DOT Medical Examination

The DOT/Commercial Driver Medical Examination (CDME) is a medical fitness determination for truck drivers. The purpose is to ensure the driver is physically qualified and can safely drive commercial motor vehicles and perform non-driving tasks as required.

The CDME is part of the Occupational Health program. We recommend scheduling your exam 30 days before your current certification is due to expire.

Exams are available by appointment at the Innercare – Brawley. Call (760) 344-6471 to schedule an appointment.
