QUESTION 23 OF 40

All of our fellows must pass a criminal record check and education verification. Is there any reason why you would not be comfortable with this?

In any healthcare-related setting, successfully passing a criminal background check is a necessity. Your interviewers ask this question to ensure that you would be able to pass any state or federal background checks required by their institution.

"I am ready to fully comply with any background and verification checks that are required to join your program as a new fellow. I have 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 fellowship program will be more forgiving if you are honest about any marks on your background check.
