On the candidate experience section of their career site, Mount Sinai Hospital makes it clear that they follow the healthcare industry protocol and ensure that all new staff pass a criminal background check as part of their onboarding process. At this point in the interview process, your interviewer needs to be assured that you will consent to a background check if hired and that you'll bring forth anything that may come up in the check itself.

"That will not be a problem. I've had to comply with state and employer caregiver background checks throughout my career. In my early 20s, I had a conviction for a DUI on my record and have long since learned from that mistake."

Knowing that it will eventually be part of the hiring process at Mount Sinai Hospital, you want to give a resounding 'yes' that you will consent to all onboarding procedures there if you are offered and accept the job. If you have any blemishes on your criminal record, now is the time to disclose that to your interviewer. If you don't and anything negative shows up, you could subject yourself to having an offer withdrawn close to a potential start date. As embarrassing as it may be, you need to let the interviewer know you have a criminal background.
