U.S. Med Students Study Free in Cuba
Medical school in the U.S. can be prohibitively expensive, but U.S. medical students can study free in Havana, Cuba. Since 1998, at least 120 U.S. students have been awarded full scholarships for the six to seven year program at the Latin American International School of Medicine, known by its Spanish acronym, ELAM. With more than 12,000 students from 27 countries, it is the largest medical school in the world. The Cuban government only asks that students be committed to serving in poor communities in their home countries after graduation.
