Residency CAF

By Anonymous - Posted on 08 September 2006

In the CAF there is a column saying that : Was your medical education/training extended or interrupted? I had a gap about one year when I am doing internship, I got married and took a break to come to USA. Can i mention this as a valid reson? Please let me know.

Hi,
Sorry I just noticed this post today. Yes, you could mention it in the CAF but I think one year of break in internship may not be considered that much of an extended medical education. It applies more for people who fail exams etc.
