Education (Good Medicine)¶
Maintain via StoryBible (update-GM-Story-Bible). Michael (Mike) Loucks only — classes, study groups (with members), and clinical rotations as a student/trainee. Hospital staff rosters live under Hospitals/; Mike’s rotation blocks also belong here.
Last updated through GM11 ch 40.

Notes for StoryBible maintainers¶
- Record only what chapters establish — no invented course numbers or full catalogs.
- Link people in Members / Supervisor(s) to
Characters/when a bio file exists. - When a rotation places Mike at Moore Memorial, Rutherford, or Good Samaritan, also update the matching Hospitals/ roster if staff/rotator tracking applies.
