Medal Gets Missing Medical Records to Your Doctor

Did she periodically take a hiatus from school to found other companies? Was she in school part-time? I certainly don't fault anyone for dropping out of a grad school program, but completing two years of medical school (if that's the case) is a far cry from "practically a doctor," like the article describes.
I entered medical school in 2011 on the traditional path (very much full-time). During my third year, after I had passed the Step 1 board exams and had started treating patients, I became familiar with the benefits and limitations of our patient management and diagnostic software.
At that time I put in for my first leave of absence, while I remained an enrolled student. I moved to San Francisco and began exploring the technology development. I planned to return for the completion of my medical degree, however with the recent success of Medal, I've opted to remain in San Francisco.
During my time away, I collaborated with the business school and other in-degree and cross curriculum programs; my program shuffled my electives so that I was completing them part-time while away. Core medical rotations cannot be completed part time, and I still had four left.
Hope this answers your question.
Warmly, Lonnie
