To become a radiologist you need 10 years (4 for MD + 6 residency) of training. So basically you're spending 2 out of 10 years online ~ 20% of your overall training is online. Then 100% of your career is online. So, I don't see anything wrong with online stuff - even though its banned in most states. What do you say?

State medical licensing boards unfortunately do not see things quite your way. It's not a matter of right or wrong. There's the issue of charter and the ability (or lack thereof) to gain an unrestricted license to practice medicine. You don't have to take my word for it.
