Medical Do I disclose expunged misdemeanor case for residency?

[lord999]

Hi guys,
I do not know if this is the correct place to ask but i did not know where to post it.
I have a misdemeanor conviction (trespassing) 4 years ago that was expunged. I am applying next september to the residency and honestly i do not know how to preceed in the ERAS application. I know that for the state license i have to disclose it, but my question is in ERAS. Anyone was or know someone who was in this situation. Also I do not know what type of attorney i should consult.

Thanks in advance!

@aProgDirector 's answer still is relevant.

Disclosing expunged misdemeanor on ERAS?

I'm a 4th year med student applying on ERAS and I am wondering if I need to disclose a 10 year old expunged misdemeanor. I contacted ERAS and they had no official policy. They told me to contact my school but I don't want to disclose this to them and I don't think they would have any useful...

One qualification on 2 that is sometimes missed, if you are going to a residency with a VA or federal component even if not the VA as the primary, you definitely need to disclose it as the VA will check even for incidental rotations. If the VA does the standard background check and flags it, it does not work out well on either side. That particular one is going to need to be explained if applying to a federal one, but I doubt it is going to be anything problematic. I also differ with the drug matter from what credentialing does in the VA, you still get a hard time even today with it though it is something that can be overcome.
