Does having been terminated from a seasonal job you did for a week during high school or college and where it wasn't your fault at all deter your chances of getting a job after your medical residency?

 

[CopaceticOne]

Nope.

 

[GSUMATERIAL14]

Nope.

So would it even be appropriate to list any of those high school and college jobs which arn't even related to the medical field including the terminated job on your medical resume?

So your saying that hospitals rather place more importance on a seasonal job,which lasted a couple days and which was 9 or 10 years ago to your grueling years during residency? Don't really see the logic.

If you are talking an actual resume:

No, they aren't related. It would be like saying you had a lemonade stand outside your house when you were 8. Nobody cares...
​

If you are talking AMCAS & secondary applications:

Use your best judgment.

Silly questions beget silly answers.

Right, but can't they still do a background check and still verify all of your employment even if it's 10 years old and not related? Won't it appear on your background check where you worked and then can't they call those old employers to see if you were fired?

It is a criminal background check that a school would do, not a complete life-story background.

I'm talking about the employer, which would be the hospital or group practice in this case.

I like to think that OP is just a neurotic junior.

No, that's not true. Listen, I just seem to be paranoid about all this. It's already very frustrating especially when your not getting clear and through explanations.

The questions are:

Will hospitals check up on my employment back in high school and college even though it won't be listed in my medical resume?

Is it even possible to check up on employment that isn't listed in your medical resume?

How will they view a termination if they did check up on it?

Only "they" would know. Every employer is different.
