Do a lot of the participants come out of the country?? If so what countries do they usually come from?

last year there was one girl from Puerto Rico. Everyone else was from the US though.

At the session I went to there was a guy from Puerto Rico, and a couple people from other countries, but I really don't remember which ones

hate to burst your bubble.........Puerto Rico is part of the U.S...................

I don't think anyone on this board has access to that information

Im from Puerto Rico and im going to ATL first session. And PR is part of the US just not a state.

hi`i am going to boston 2nd session. I am from China and reside in the US now. It is like next Sunday, i am so excited and nervous!~

I'm an American, but I live abroad and go to an international school... from what I can see on my specific session discussion board, I'm the only "international" student. So, it is usually mainly Americans? Not a very international conference?

It is mainly Americans. Perhaps that's why it's called the National Youth Leadership Forum on Medicine, and not the International Youth Leadership Forum on Medicine (not trying to be a jerk here, just pondering)

dang why you have to say it like that he was just asking a question

Like I said, I wasn't trying to be a jerk. It was just a sudden thought that I had

I just finished the first session in Boston, and there were people from Singapore, Puerto Rico, Germany, and Guam, and the Virgin Islands.
