QUESTION 19 OF 35

Would you be willing and able to complete our background check process if you were to match into our Emergency Medicine Residency training program?

It is necessary to pass a criminal background check in any healthcare-related setting. Your credentialing and state licensure will rely on it. Your interviewers ask this question to ensure that you would be able to pass any required state or federal background checks required by their institution.

"I am ready to fully comply with any background and verification checks that are required of me to join your program as an Emergency Medicine Resident. I have a clean criminal and driving records."

If you can successfully pass a criminal record check or education verification, explain that you have a clean record. If you have any blemishes on your records and are not able to pass a criminal record check or education verification, be upfront about that in the interview process. The residency program will be more forgiving if you are honest about any marks on your background check.

"I would be happy to do a criminal background check and understand that you must do your due diligence to protect the safety of patients. I am completely comfortable with this."

"I am very happy to complete any and all background checks or drug screens your program requires."
