Hi everyone,
I'm a non-trad student so have had some work experience before med school. I was wondering if residencies contact previous employers along with the typical verifying old dates of employment, etc. Do they also conduct reference checks? There is one employer I'm worried won't give me the most stellar reference (nothing nefarious or anything, just didn't really get along with my boss that well).
I ask this because one program I was interested in explicitly says on their website that you don't get hired until after the background and reference check. What references are they referring to? I'm assuming not letter writers from med school?
