About a year ago I was pulled over by the police for suspected dwi, the police found marijuana in my car and preformed a field sobriety test on me which showed i was NOT driving under the influence of any substances. After reaching this conclusion the police took down my name, phone number and address and proceeded to let me go. I am wondering if i need to report this incident on any medical school applications or future licensing applications.

I would pull your own CBC and just make sure that there is nothing on there. Chances are if you had no court date you were never charged with anything but better to be safe than sorry. If it's not on your CBC then no need to report it.

NO, you do not. no court summons, no problem.

Thanks for the answers everyone, this also wouldn't show up on any check done for licensure correct, I just don't want to report something that could hurt my chances at licensure, and is not a part of my life anymore.
