Role of Medical Examiners’ Clinical Judgment in the Medical
Certification Process of Sleep Apnea “The current regulations and advisory criteria do not include
guidelines concerning OSA screening, diagnosis, and treatment,” the bulletin
states. “Medical examiners should rely upon their medical training and
expertise in determining whether a driver exhibits symptoms and/or multiple
risk factors for OSA, and they should explain to the driver the basis for their
decision if the examiner decides to issue a medical certificate for a period of
less than two years to allow for further evaluation, or to deny a driver the
medical certificate.”  |
