Does a postdoc research year count as extended/interrupted medical training?

[RookTookIt]

One of the ERAS questions is: Was your medical education/training extended or interrupted?

I graduated med school last year (graduated on time and had no interruptions during those four years) and am currently doing a postdoctoral research year while applying. How should I answer the above question?

Thanks!

You answer no. You finished med school on time. You haven't started residency. The question is about breaks in the middle of a particular program.

Got it, thanks for the clarification.
