What firms are cool with you leaving after a year?

i'm considering to go to medical school but if I don't get in the first cycle, i'd like to enter consulting. are there are firms that will allow for their consultants to leave after a year for something like medical school without sacrificing connections/relationships at the firm? or even, are there firms that you can tell from the beginning that you plan to leave after a year?
