Important Information

Driver Medical Examinations are performed in accordance with accepted medical standards and the requirements of the applicable licensing authority.

​

Our physicians are professionally and ethically responsible for ensuring that all Driver Medical documentation accurately reflects the findings of the medical examination and available clinical information.

Following your examination, the physician may determine that:

• your Driver Medical form can be completed;

• additional medical records or specialist reports are required;

• further testing or investigations are necessary;

• a follow-up assessment is required; or

• the requested certification cannot be provided because the available clinical information does not support it.

 

Submission of a request and payment of the Professional Review & Examination Fee do not guarantee that a Driver Medical form will be completed or that medical clearance to drive will be granted.

​

Physicians are legally and professionally obligated to provide an objective medical opinion based on the examination findings and supporting clinical information.
