hey...I was the other exec. member who advocate is referring to. Definitely have to agree with everything he posted. I just wanted to add that I know there is a lot of tension between students of different schools especially in the Caribbean, and i'm not going to step in the middle of everything and hope to stop it...but I think the AMSA chapters from these schools should at least get together for the common goals that AMSA stands for. Being part of AMSA already shows that you are different from the rest of the students in that you care for your medical education and have genuine interest in medicine. Having met some of the execs. from other Caribbean schools, there seems to be a shared sense of direction in which AMSA wants to move. Hopefully other med students can catch on and actually help to achieve something great for the Caribbean med population.

And in response to the previous post...this year one of the resolutions that was voted on dealt with the restructuring of national AMSA; including giving the International Trustee a seat and a vote on the National AMSA council. So contrary to popular belief, we as foreign medical graduates do have a say in what AMSA stands for and we can steer it in the direction we want.
