So this medical degree in 2 years bothers me.
went to looking and it says any MD program (US based)takes 4 years(assuming a bachelors' degree and prereqs Required are at least yearlong courses in biology, general chemistry, organic chemistry (or one semester of organic plus a semester of biochemistry) and physics. We also recommend courses in statistics, writing and social science per the northwestern site) completed...

He graduates UC Davis 1984 with a BS in biochemistry, gets an MS in biology from UCSD in 1988, he then goes onto med school for 2 years (his words)in Chicago but lists his association with Northwestern Feinberg med school from 1984-1991? I don't get it. Unless it's supposed to cover the gaps in his CV for (assuming spring graduation) potentially fall of 1984, all of 1985 and potentially fall of 1988 through to fall of 1989 when med school would begin(med school is not rolling start)
Bottom line? An MD can not be obtained in 2 years. Nowadays it can be done in 6 from high school in a BS/MD program but not sure what he's talking about on his CV. Not to mention a pathology residency is 4 years in the US? Unless he did the 1 year in pathology that unfortunately gives him a GP eligibility but who would see a GP with a pathology residency to check the box to be "licensed to practice"???...It's all kinda fishy to me.
