Did you check with your PI to make sure that they or the journal didn't leave out the authorship by mistake?

No, but they sent the galleys to her which is where she sees the final publication preview, and I think that's usually the point where an author note denoting co-authorship would be listed, so I'm assuming if she was gonna put it in she would have done it at that point.

If I was you, I would go check with my PI before I go and start informing med schools that the authorship changed. If your PI told you they would list you as a co-author, and they left it out by mistake, your PI should be able to contact the journal to have them amend the authorship back to first co-author.

Also if you have been in charge of the work for the past 3-4 years, and your PI told you they would list you as co-author, that would mean you deserved it. They wouldn't tell you that if you didn't earn co-authorship.
 
Also one more thing, did you check on the article whether they had a small note somewhere that listed that the first 2 authors shared equal authorship? You might be listed 2nd in the order of the authors, but they typically leave an asterisk or a note somewhere in the article that denotes equal authorship for the first 2 authors.

The last thing a PI looks at when the final draft of the paper comes in is the authorship. I guarantee they just forgot. Ask your PI and they should take care of it.
 
Kind of unrelated to your question, but each time I've gone through the paper publication process, I've had to get every single author to sign off on the funding, conflicts of interest, and authorship list at the submission, revision, and final galley stages. I'm surprised you didn't have to agree to the authorship list when it was at the final galley stage
