congrats on making it there..conventions are great!

as a side note just make sure that the organization you join one that agrees with your views. amsa is basically a political loby which is fine and dandy but it does not represent the interests of medical students as a whole and certainly not the interests of us as foreign medical students because it favors socialized medicine and has taken positions against foreign medical graduates. joining as a foreign chapter is basically worthless in the grand scheme of things because we have no voting rights on any important things but they sure do like our money.

search through this site for links proving the above. again if you agree with the views of amsa then go for it..everyone has a right to join and advnace any of their views..amsa however tries to hide some of their agenda and i think misleads students to joining. specially us foreign students who are basically begging to join anything that links us to medicine back home.

look before you join
