Certified Medical Examiner (Chiropractors)

ABOUT THE ROLE

Working at Gradient means joining a company that’s passionate about making transportation safer. Every member of our team plays an important role in helping us build this future. We embrace opportunities to share our insights and shape the path forward with partners who share our vision for a safer world.

Gradient is growing, and as a part of that growth we are looking to add an additional chiropractor or nurse practitioner to support our in-house Clinical Team as our Certified Medical Examiner. In this role, you will conduct medical exams and assessments that help ensure operators (of commercial vehicles, airplanes, vessels, railcars and machinery) are fit-for-duty. Your work will have a profound impact that extends far beyond the physical exam. By helping operators earn a living, you are also contributing to the safety of the traveling public across multiple modes of transportation. Your work plays a crucial role in preventing accidents and is indispensable to the jobs made possible by our transportation infrastructure.

You’ll thrive in this role if you have an interest in occupational medicine and a passion for health in the workplace. You appreciate the support of a dedicated team, because diverse perspectives lead to professional growth and development. You are also eager to impart your knowledge and skills in service of the team’s growth.

As a Certified Medical Examiner, you’ll benefit from a streamlined approach where paperwork – and overtime – are minimal. Long-term, you will influence the direction of our growing clinical practice.

Responsibilities

• Record information about patient’s medical history


• Conduct physical examinations to determine employment eligibility


• Administer and ensure the integrity of urine examinations


• Refer patients to medical specialist or other practitioner for specialized treatment


• Transmit medical determinations to appropriate parties


• Perform specimen collections for drug and alcohol testing


• Keep up to date on regulatory compliance with respect to medical examinations and drug and alcohol testing


• Contribute to the development of company health and wellness program

If you can answer yes to the following questions, we’d like to learn more about you:

• Are you a recent graduate who seeks experience in a clinical setting?


• Are continued learning and growth non-negotiables?


• If you are in private practice, do you prefer to focus on patient care versus running a business?


• Do you want the stability of set hours and work no more than 40-45 hours each week?


• Do you seek a job with less physical rigor, where you can help patients without risking injury to yourself?

Qualifications

At Gradient, we weigh a person’s values with their direct experience and track record of success equally. That said, our ideal candidate will have the following background.

• Licensed DC, NP, naturopath, advanced practice registered nurse, or another licensure eligible for CME certification via the FMCSA


• Experience evaluating physical fitness and ability to perform specific job functions


• Knowledge of Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulations pertaining to fitness for duty qualifications and drug and alcohol testing is preferred, though not required


• Excellent oral communication skills in patient care


• Advanced proficiency with computers


• Broad knowledge and/or experience with developing health and wellness programs
  

While the role requires certification in the FMCSA National Registry, the offer may be contingent on certification prior to start date. Certification is a reimbursable expense after 6-months with the company. Candidates must also successfully complete a background investigation and drug test (which includes screening for cannabis use) prior to starting in the role.
