QUESTION 16 OF 35

Would you be willing and able to complete our background check process if you match into our Infectious Disease fellowship program?

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

"I am ready to fully comply with any background and verification checks required to join your program as an Infectious Disease 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 cannot 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.

"I would be happy to complete 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."
