The Division of Workers’ Compensation (DWC) is now accepting applications for Qualified Medical Evaluators (QME). QMEs are independent physicians certified by DWC to conduct medical evaluations of injured workers. To become a QME, physicians must take and pass the QME examination. The next QME exam is April 28 and will be administered in both Northern and Southern California. (The exam sites will be chosen a month prior to the exam date, once the number of applicants is determined.)
Applications for the April 28 QME exam must be postmarked by Thursday, March 8. Once your application is approved, you will have to take and pass the examination to qualify to be a QME.
