Certiphi Background Check on yourself

[anomeric]

Hello everyone-

I'd like to conduct a Certiphi Background Check on myself before the application cycle opens, to see what shows up on it. Is this possible, or do I have to wait until I submit my primary application? Has anyone else done this?

Thanks

Certiphi is for MD applicants, and you can only run it after you've applied to schools.

I see, thanks. What company runs DO applicants background checks?

I don't know, but it may vary by school.

If OP just wants to see what, if anything, shows up on his background check, Certiphi would be fine to do I'd wager.

I would agree, but it assumes OP will be applying to MD to have access to a Certiphi background.

Oh, I thought Certiphi was a company where you could purchase your own background screen. Seems to be only through institutions or companies?

You can, but only if you have applied to med school.
