    Default Becoming a Doctor with Criminal Record

    My question involves a background check in the State of: CA

    I got arrested for receiving stolen property, the charge was reduced to misdemeanor and after I finished my DEJ terms the charge was dismissed. Is there any way I can clean up my record? I understand that depending on the type of background check the arrest and dismissed charge may or may not show up. I am applying to medical school and worry that even if the board issue me a license no hospitals would hire me.

    I checked some positions (physician and nurse) at the hospital and they only ask for convictions. Does that mean they cannot not deny me the job based on my dismissed case?

    Read this.

    If you're worried about medical school, talk to a career advisor at the school you plan to attend to see if they believe you will have trouble getting licensed. I doubt that a dismissed misdemeanor will prevent you from obtaining a medical license.
