The medical guidelines are designed to reflect the underlying correlation between recognized medical conditions and safe and effective job performance. The medical guidelines apply to Transportation Security Officers, Expert Transportation Security Officers, Lead Transportation Security Officers, Supervisory Transportation Security Officers, and Security Training Instructors.  \nMedical Evaluation (applies to applicants only):  \nThe Medical Guidelines (Guidelines) are used to assess an applicant’s ability to perform job-related functions based on any medical/physical conditions presented by the applicant. It is recommended that an applicant review the Guidelines prior to taking the medical assessment. The applicant may discuss the Guidelines with his/her treating health care provider and provide related documentation at the time the medical assessment is scheduled. After the scheduled medical assessment is completed, if TSA requires the applicant to undergo a specific follow-up medical examination at the post offer stage of the hiring process before determining whether the applicant is medically qualified for the position, TSA will pay for all costs associated with the examination.  \nIf, after conducting an individualized assessment, the Agency determines that the applicant is medically disqualified, the applicant will be advised of the disqualification and that the application process has ended. The applicant may appeal this determination by notifying the evaluating physician and providing any documentation to support the appeal. The applicant will be considered for future employment in the event the appeal process results in a determination that the individual is medically cleared.  \nMedical Guidelines for a Mission Ready Workforce  \nContents  \n1.
