toefl is no longer required. U don't have to take toefl. I think they are testing the language skills as part of Step 2CS.

hey carmen,

u sure toefl not reqd? I mean i've heard its just a few universities that have waived off toefl.... now is it so that there is no need to go for it at all? If its true then its great news!! Plz confirm. :roll:

Hi Dr. Prabhu
I am an old graduate of Stanley Medical College; things have changed very much in Chennai since i left. I am mailing to see what bookshops are currently dealing with medical books now other than Shah bookshop. I understand All India bookshop is closed....right?? I am trying to buy some books for USMLE. It will be great if you could help.
