# Medical

The Medical section stores DOT physical exam records for drivers. Users can add or edit the medical certificate, including issue and expiration dates, upload supporting documents, and leave optional notes. Validation ensures proper date logic and file handling.

#### Add Medical Modal

<table><thead><tr><th width="200">Field</th><th width="90" align="center">Required</th><th>Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Issue Date</td><td align="center">✅</td><td>Must be a valid date today or in the past</td></tr><tr><td>Expiration Date</td><td align="center">✅</td><td>Must be after the issue date</td></tr><tr><td>File Upload</td><td align="center">Optional</td><td>Upload drag/drop; may be required depending on company policy</td></tr><tr><td>Notes</td><td align="center">Optional</td><td>Free text field for remarks or medical provider notes</td></tr></tbody></table>

* Validation errors appear if the expiration date is before the issue date.
* Future issue dates are also flagged with an error message.
* Save is enabled only when all required fields are filled and valid.

#### Edit Medical Modal

* All fields are editable.
* Uploaded file can be replaced or deleted.
* Save and Delete options are available at the bottom of the modal.

#### Validation Rules

* Issue and expiration dates must follow logical order.
* Only one medical certificate can be active per driver.
* Replacing a certificate does not delete history—previous entries remain stored.

#### UI Notes

* Expired medicals are flagged in the driver list/card view.
* Drivers without an active medical record may trigger compliance alerts.
