Medical Advisory Board

The Medical Advisory Board advises state agencies — often the Department of Transportation or similar licensing bodies — on medical standards for fitness to perform safety-sensitive functions such as operating motor vehicles or holding commercial licenses. It reviews cases where medical conditions may affect an individual's eligibility for a license or certification, and provides guidance on what medical documentation and review standards should apply. The board's determinations balance individual rights with public safety.

If you hold or are applying for a state license where medical fitness is a factor — such as a commercial driver's license — this board's standards and decisions directly affect your eligibility.
