The majority of these examinations will require board certified specialists including psychiatrists, psychologists, orthopaedic surgeons, neurosurgeons, neurologists, physical medicine specialists, occupational medicine specialists, ophthalmologists, otolaryngologists, etc. The physician administering the examination is prohibited from establishing any future medical/professional relationship once the examination has been scheduled. The sole purpose of the examining physician is to administer the examination and to record the findings.
