South Carolina considers criminal checks for medical licenses
The state medical board will review a proposal to require national criminal background checks for license applicants, replacing current standards in line with rules for day care workers and teachers. The push follows a West Columbia case where Dr James M Shortt, formerly James Michael Wideman, failed to report a 1966 Michigan felony as he sought licensure, and a patient's death after an alternative treatment under investigation.
