"Great Staff!"
"very professional and very polite." - Willis Williams
A Coast Guard physical is the medical examination and paperwork (Form CG-719K or CG-719K/E) required by the U.S. Coast Guard’s National Maritime Center (NMC). It verifies you meet the medical, vision, hearing, and physical ability standards to hold a Merchant Mariner Credential (MMC) and/or STCW endorsements. The exam must be performed by a U.S.-licensed MD, DO, PA, or NP.
Why it matters: Your Medical Certificate is the Coast Guard’s proof that you’re fit for duty and safe at sea.
Anyone applying for or renewing an MMC (including mariners on domestic voyages) must maintain a current Medical Certificate.
Mariners on vessels subject to STCW must have a valid Medical Certificate.

What the exam includes
We follow the Coast Guard’s Merchant Mariner Medical Manual and related rules:
Vision- Deck: at least one eye correctable to 20/40 (uncorrected not worse than 20/200); STCW deck requires 20/40 in each eye (corrected). Engineering & certain other roles: at least one eye correctable to 20/50 (uncorrected not worse than 20/200). Color vision (red/green/blue/yellow) via accepted tests (Ishihara, Farnsworth Lantern, etc.)
Hearing- Audiometry typically averaged at 500/1000/2000/3000 Hz with unaided threshold ≤30 dB in the better ear; functional speech discrimination ≥90% (original) or ≥80% (renewal) at 65 dB.
General medical & physical ability- Review of medical history, medications, vitals, and focused exam.
If indicated, a demonstration of physical ability (e.g., climbing ladders, stepping over 24" coamings, moving through restricted openings) per Table 6-1 guidelines.
Avoid Substances: Refrain from alcohol and non-prescribed drugs, and inform the examiner of all medications you're taking.
Note: The exam and the CG-719K/K-E form must be completed within 12 months of when you submit to the Coast Guard.

CHECK AVAILABILITY & BOOKWHAT IS A DOT PHYSICAL EXAM?
A DOT physical exam (also called a CDL medical exam or DOT medical exam) is the physical evaluation required by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) to confirm that a commercial driver is medically qualified to safely operate a commercial motor vehicle. The exam covers vision, hearing, blood pressure, heart health, mobility, and overall physical condition, and results in your DOT medical card (Medical Examiner's Certificate).
Every commercial driver operating in interstate or intrastate commerce is required to hold a current, valid DOT medical card — and it must be renewed periodically, typically every 24 months (or more frequently if your examiner requires a shorter certification period).
