Yes, if you started out life as a dentist/doctor/lawyer and later got into flying. You could not do medical training while employed as a pilot. But a 3-4 furlough might be an opportunity if you have the grades to get in.
You might be able to get a JD and pass the bar while actively flying, but I would suggest at least one year off to attend actual classes at the beginning.
