What to Look for in a Spine IME Examiner
Board certification in Orthopedic Surgery or Neurosurgery, with fellowship-level spine training
CIME certification (ABIME) — demonstrates medicolegal examination competency beyond clinical practice
Active clinical practice — examiners who still operate bring current surgical judgment to every opinion
Reports built for admissibility — findings tied to objective evidence and current evidence-based medicine, able to withstand Daubert/Frye challenge
