Search-by-Search Description
Below you will find a search-by-search description of each check
to be facilitated by the AAMC, and conducted by the AAMC's selected

solution. Note that all criminal history searches will be conducted
in order to collect criminal history including convictions and pending
adjudications.
Social Security Number Search
A search of credit report header data to help confirm
the applicant's identifying information such as name, aliases, address(es),
Social Security Number and to determine areas of prior residence.
County Criminal Records Searches
A direct search of county courthouse records for any
felony or misdemeanor criminal history. All records are researched
to help ensure positive identification and complete, easy-to-read
details.
Statewide Criminal Records Search
A search conducted through statewide criminal records repositories
or court systems for any felony or misdemeanor criminal history.
Federal Criminal Records Search
A direct search of federal courthouse records for any felony or
misdemeanor criminal history. All records are researched to help
ensure positive identification and complete, easy-to-read details.
National Criminal Database Search
This search is an instant, multi-jurisdiction private database
search covering more than 194 million criminal records collected
from across the country. While the database does not contain information
from all states, it is an excellent supplement to county, statewide
and federal criminal searches. To ensure compliance with FCRA, all
database "hits" are verified directly through the source of information
to ensure that records reported are current and up-to-date.
National Sexual Offender Database Search
A search of a national private database which contains sex offender
data collected from across the country. All records are researched
to help ensure positive identification.
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services
Office of Inspector General List of Excluded Individuals/Entities
Search
A search of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office
of Inspector General List of Excluded Individuals/Entities (LEIE),
a database which provides information to the public, health care
providers, patients, and others relating to parties excluded from
participation in the Medicare, Medicaid, and all Federal health
care programs.
Search for Dishonorable Discharge from
the Armed Forces
Military records are verified through either telephone interviews
with the subject's former commander or by obtaining the applicant's
DD-214 form. Verification generally includes subject's name, Service
Number, rank, dates of service, awards and decorations, and place
of entrance and separation.
International Screening
International criminal records searches are generally performed
by facilitating the applicant in obtaining an official Police Clearance
or Police Certificate from the desired country. In those countries
that have established third-party criminal records search facilities—including
Canada and Great Britain—searches will be obtained directly through
those channels.
