Understanding the Medical Review Process
All medical reports are kept confidential and will only be used by Alberta Transportation to determine a person’s qualifications to drive. The department uses the Canadian Council of Motor Transport Administrators (CCMTA) Medical Standards for Drivers to base decisions on a person’s ability to drive.
