The Mayo Clinic needs to be very cautious about who they hire for apparent reasons. All of the information you will access is confidential and dangerous if put into the wrong hands. You will be working with personal employees, patients, and company information and must maintain confidentiality. Depending on your role, you may also be working around medications and controlled narcotics. Assure the interviewer that you are most willing to comply with any background check and drug test they require.

As with any interview question, you want to be completely honest in your response. As embarrassing as it may be, if you do not think you will pass the drug test or have a criminal background, you need to let the interviewer know that now. If passing the drug test will not be an issue and you do not have a criminal history, assure the interviewer that you will pass both tests.

"I am happy to comply with any background check required. My record is clean, and I do not participate in drug use. You can be assured that if you hire me for this role, I will maintain a clean record."
