medicare funding for GME nuances

[Square Pants]

If one matches for an IM prelim year medicare funds 3 years of GME. What happens if, after finishing the prelim year, one wants to pursue graduate research work for several years? I imagine that there is a time limit for which to use these allocated funds.

Another way to state this question is, do the 3 years of medicare funding have to be continuous? Can one take a "leave" and then come back for 2 years with the gov't funding still there?

I realize that all this may change, but does anyone know the current status? I checked APDIM but couldn't find it.

Gracias
