Hi,
I am finishing school and will be applying for the next match season. However, I have a record and I'm afraid it will pop up when they do a background check when I join residency or when I apply to a state medical board for licensure. I was arrested previously for shoplifting. It was in NJ and I was >18 years old. I had my record expunged few months ago, but still afraid it might come up and preclude me from obtaining a training license or later a full license. Appreciate if someone went through a similar thing can post his experience or if someone knows any info can post it.
thanks
Although you may get experience-based advise here, I think that this is dependent on what exactly happened and the state you are going to be in. I always am cautious about people getting what is basically legal advice via anonymous internet forums. Having said that, I seriously doubt this will be a major issue anywhere.
