ERAS Semantics

Just a question on wording for an ERAS question.

The application asks:
Was your medical education/training extended or interrupted?*

If you took a year off for research (research fellowship), would you answer yes to this question? Obviously, this is a huge plus on my application, but I'm not sure if this question is seeking out negatives (ie, extended do to failure, sick leave, other leave of absence). Any thoughts?

Yes, you must answer this question "yes". But then you'll explain it and nobody will care.
