The AAMC recommends that all US medical schools complete a criminal background check on students once accepted into a program. 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 required for my formal acceptance into your medical school. 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 cannot pass a criminal record check or education verification, be upfront about that in the interview process. The school will be more forgiving if you are honest about any marks on your background check.
"I am ready to complete and pass any background checks required. There are no concerns in that regard."
