QUESTION 21 OF 30

If you were to match into our Radiation Oncology residency program, you must pass a criminal record check and education verification. Would you be comfortable with this?

In any healthcare-related setting, successfully passing a criminal background check is required for frontline caregivers. This includes medical students, residents, and fellows. Your interviewers ask this question to ensure that you can pass any required state or federal background checks required by their institution.

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. Any Radiation Oncology residency program will be more forgiving if you are honest about any marks on your background check.

"I would be happy to comply with any criminal background checks required by your institution and understand that you must do your due diligence to protect the safety of patients. I am completely comfortable with this."
