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

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 urology 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 also know that most states are diligent about ensuring that healthcare workers have clean criminal records. I am completely comfortable with this and only have one speeding violation on my record."
