So, u need to submit the following Form in support of yur professional capacity:
"VE-PC Verification of Employment/Experience--Professional Capacity"

So, from the above it seems that they usually accept clinical,medical research,clinical training in a residency program,post-graduate program,faculty or visiting professor position,etc.But, at the same time they say that it is not limited to it.So, wat u can do now is that u can mention watever u did during the past years.It wud also be good to talk to them in order to clarify further.It is better not to ahve any gaps,but a gap of one month may not be really a serious issue.
Good Luck!

Good Luck!
