Criminal Background Check
MCG Criminal Background Check Policy
The Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) recommends that all U.S. medical
schools obtain a national background check on applicants upon their initial conditional
acceptance to medical school. This is to bolster the public’s continuing trust in
the medical profession, enhance the safety and well being of patients, ascertain the
ability of accepted applicants and enrolled medical students to eventually become
licensed as physicians. It is also to minimize the liability of medical schools and
their affiliated clinical facilities.
