Hi,
Quick question: what is considered a gap in medical education or a leave of absence?I attended a school in Asia, and we did not have any time alloted for any of the USMLE exams. So if one wanted to take the exam before clerkship started, he/she would have to take a few months to study and take the exam. Would this be considered a gap or leave of absence in medical education seeing how the person was studying for the USMLE so they were eligible to do clerkship rotations in the USA? thank you for all the help everyone!
