Physicians and other primary care providers are strongly encouraged to refer their patients to the MVA if there are concerns about medical fitness to drive.
Physicians should refer to the American Medical Association's guidelines for ethical responsibilities – including the responsibility to assess and discuss any impacts on driving in the course of treatment or administering medications.
