Commercial drivers, employers and even certified examiners often are not aware of recent changes in guidance and regulations in the commercial driver medical certification process. Incomplete or incorrect qualification decisions can lead to liability for the examiner and the employer, but more importantly can impact public safety. Awareness of resources to identify current best practice is essential. Join nationally renowned author and speaker Dr. Natalie Hartenbaum for a “lunch and learn” on updates and changes, both current and upcoming. This presentation is a must for commercial drivers, their employers, safety professionals and NRCME certified clinicians. CME credit will be provided.

She has extensive experience in the clinical, corporate, and academic settings and is a nationally recognized expert in occupational fitness for duty with a special focus on transportation.
