To apply for the initial certification examination a physician must:

The MROCC examination is designed to objectively recognize the competence of those physicians who have developed specialized knowledge, and are proficient in the performance of the essential duties of the MRO. Under the direction of Wayne State University, the process of exam development has followed a comprehensive plan to ensure relevance, validity and reliability. Examination items have been developed and critically reviewed by nationally recognized leaders in drug testing drawn from the fields of occupational medicine, addiction medicine, forensic chemistry & toxicology and the legal profession. In addition, leading experts in educational measurement, evaluation and psychometrics have provided guidance to the process.
