"Yes, I would consent to a full background check. I have been subjected to criminal and caregiver background checks in all positions I have held up to this point in my career. During my undergraduate program, I do have a conviction for distracted driving on my record that I would be more than happy to discuss if needed. If I'm offered this position, I'd be happy to get the process started right away."

According to their career site, Kaiser Permanente requires all external hires to pass a background check and pre-employment drug screen. They also state that applications with arrest or conviction records can still be considered. Since the institution operates in many states, including California, Oregon, Georgia, and Maryland, make sure to familiarize yourself with those states' medical background check requirements before your interview. Now is the time to be honest about anything that would show up on a background check because interviewers will be much more lenient during the onboarding process if it was disclosed during the interview.
