Terminated without cause and attestation question

[Caminante]

I was recently "terminated without cause" from a job I had been at for almost 2 years.  In brief, it was due to patient complaints, but not to the degree that they actually terminated me "with" cause (i.e., they did not formally declare any "gross misconduct," "unprofessional behavior", or breach of contract).  The HR department told me that they will never discuss the details with any future employer --- they will only release the dates of employment.   Despite the vague reasons, I was definitely in agreement with leaving this position as I was not happy there.

My questions is this: when filling out the credentialing attestation questions for my next job, do I mark "yes" on the question about whether or not I have ever had my employment revoked or "involuntarily relinquished?"  The question doesn't specifically say, "have you ever been terminated with cause" from a job.  Here is the full question I am referring to:

"Have clinical privileges, membership, participation or employment...ever been placed on probation, suspended, restricted, revoked, voluntarily relinquished while under investigation, not renewed while under investigation, involuntarily relinquished, or is any such action pending or under review?"

I think the key words here are "while under investigation" and you can answer no the the question.

 

Ah sorry, mixed up the voluntary and involuntary. You would probably need to answer yes, unless you change the terms of the seperation.

Um, "involuntarily relinquished" would seem to apply here, the OP was let go (didn't quit). So some explanation in the credentialing paperwork would probably be required. 

IANAL, but that's my layperson opinion.

Agree with above, them commas separate the "investigation" part from the "involuntarily relinquished" part.  Any way you can work with the HR team to make it a mutually agreed upon separation? Like all of my past relationships?
