Working in the healthcare industry means you are in contact with vulnerable people, children, pharmaceutical drugs, drug-related equipment, confidential information, and other areas of sensitivity. If you have a criminal record or drug issue, you must disclose this as it will be discovered during your background. If you do not have a drug issue or criminal background, assure the interviewer that you are able and willing to pass a complete background check and drug screen.

"I have a clean criminal record and am happy to comply with any background check you require of me. I have never used drugs, so I will have no issue passing the drug screen."

"No problem. I understand that it's part of the job. But I want to be up-front, I have done a full background check before, and there is a possibility you will see a charge for possession of marijuana in the check. It was several years ago, and it's no longer an issue for me because I've made significant changes in my life to pursue this career. But I don't want you to be surprised by the information. I'm happy to answer any questions you have and can assure you I will have no issue passing the drug screen."

Focus on being brief and concise. If you have no issue passing either, let the interviewer know that you have no criminal background and do not use drugs. If you do have something to disclose, you must do so now.
