Besides a criminal background check, what else might the Board require for licensure?

• A. Medical clearance from a physician
• B. A driving record
• C. Any other board-required screenings
• D. A social media background check

Answer: (C)

Licensure often involves more than just checking for past criminal conduct. Boards may require various screenings to confirm an applicant’s ability to practice safely and ethically, and these requirements can vary by jurisdiction and profession. The catch-all option—any other board-required screenings—best reflects this variability because it covers the possibility of additional evaluations beyond a criminal background check.

While a physician’s medical clearance might be needed in certain cases where health could impact practice, and a driving record or social media check might appear in some reviews, none of these are universally required for every licensure pathway. The broad option acknowledges that boards can mandate different screenings as part of the licensure process.
