I heard that the AMA is going to take legal action to stop Step II CS on the grounds of cost to medical students. Has anyone heard anything more about this?

Shoot. I just paid for it. It would be nice to get my $995 back.

AMSA wants to get rid of it and opposes it

AMA just wants free housing and more locations and tried to stop it until those things happened

I thought the new GW Hospital was going to be one of the test centers. At least that's what they told us at my interview last yr, just after the hospital opened.

something about the AMA's actions just p*ss me off.

Thinking that they'd probably encourage if it was for US foreigened trained students.

Oh well, I'll probably (hopefully) profit from this as well, since I no longer have to take the CSA because of the new Step II exam.
