To sit for the certification examination a physician must meet all DOT MRO
requirements that are current on the date of the examination.
Certification shall be valid for the period specified by MROCC at the time of
the examination (currently 6 years) so long as the physician continues to be
eligible to conduct the MRO functions under DOT regulations and continues
to possess a valid medical license.
Certification shall be revoked if . . .
>> the physician becomes ineligible to perform MRO duties in DOT regulated
drug testing programs.
Certification may be revoked . . .
>> following conviction for a criminal offense
>> upon receiving an adverse licensing action. All MROCC certified
physicians are responsible for notifying MROCC within 30 days of becoming
ineligible to perform MRO duties, being convicted of a criminal offense, or
receiving notice of an adverse licensing action (which affects one’s ability to
function as an MRO in DOT regulated drug testing programs.)
>> if the integrity of the examination is compromised by mishandling MROCC
testing materials, including but not limited to reproduction or dissemination -
in any form - of examination test items.
>> if the physician assists an initial certification or recertification candidate
during an examination by any means that is determined by MROCC to be
“cheating” or as violating MROCC’s Cheating Policy.
Physicians may appeal a certification revocation.
A physician wishing to appeal the decision must initiate the process in
writing within 30 days of the date of notice from MROCC. The appeal,
addressed to the MROCC Board, must indicate specific grounds for
reconsideration by MROCC.
