BT’s Rania Khalek paid a visit to the Latin American School of Medicine in Havana, also known as ELAM. Cuba’s socialist government foots the bill for students, who come from all over the world to study medicine for free. Tuition, accommodation and board are all covered. Cuba even throws in a government stipend for students to live on. The one condition? Graduates have to return to serve in low-income communities.
A testament to Cuba's commitment to internationalism, ELAM is one of the largest medical schools in the world, with tens of thousands of students enrolling in a given year from over 100 countries.
During her visit to the campus, Rania had the chance to catch up with current 2nd year medical students from the U.S., and asked them about their experiences studying in Cuba.

I remember watching a lecture by Gabor Mate where he also mentions the healthcare system in the US and the West generally. He said something along the line "when was the last time your doctor asked you about your environment, your generall well being, your family?" Seeing Cuban doctors have a different approach is very beautiful!

They do ask about that in mental healthcare, but that has its own problems. "You're depressed because you're poor. You family issues are a result of generational poverty. Your fears and feelings (e.g. extreme distrust of police and other authorities) are completely rational given your situation and experiences, but we're gonna pathologize it anyway. That'll be $200"

Its against the law because they're supposed to treat people on the basis of need, but they do it anyway..

I know dozens of Cuban doctors and a lot of the books they have are translated from English to Spanish. Same books that I used when I studied at medical school. Meaning that the education is not limited by language or geopolitical influences. Cuban doctors are very good indeed as I have worked closely with them. They are as rigorous in their thought process as a physician as any well trained physician out there. Moreover at some point in time these students were also able to have part of their training in the Soviet Union. There are of course palpable limitations to the current infrastructure. But money and access to resources are still unable to limit the purity and the thought process of these physicians I am honestly proud of having collaborated with them in the academic setting and in the clinical environment.

@@Duck-wc9de Cuba is a small island that has been under world-wide US-initiated trade blockade for 70 years. Its last big trade partner was the USSR, which supplied vital materials. When it fell, Cuba was left with nothing. No petrol, no steel, no copper, no concrete, no food, no medicine, no textile, NOTHING could get in or out of Cuba. Can you imagine what would happen if it was your own country that was sanctioned like that? You would also lose all of the things you can do without, and some more. Unsurprisingly (and completely by design), quality of life in Cuba plummeted in the 90's, and many people left (also by design). There were times when all one could get was rice and sugar. Yet even in the bleakest of times, when there weren't even fresh bandages, healthcare stayed free for everyone, and to this day it remains one of the best in the world, despite the sanction-induced shortages. P. S. Cuba is a democracy. You may not be able to recognize it because it has more than 2 parties, but it's a democracy all the same.

I knew about medical schools and the state of medical science in Cuba, however, I was not aware that everything was free. I also know that the medical education is extremely expensive in America. According to Aristotle: Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all. Especially in the field of medicine, a medical doctor's primary concern is to help the patient without regard to financial motivation. One must believe in this, and life is so beautiful when you have a vision and you see yourself useful to humanity it gives one a deep spiritual fulfillment that nothing else can replace. Unfortunately, American system of education especially in the field of health and medicine totally lacks this goal. I am glad for you ladies, you are on the right track.

After the USSR collapsed Cuba, started allowing its people to accept & carry foreign money.

Cubans were the pioneers of Mbarara University of Science and Technology Uganda. I thank them for their service in grooming the university which has produced good doctors/scientists!

I can certainly testify that greatest service to the people I have ever witnessed was when I had to go to the hospital in Havana , Cuba. The introduced himself as Juarez and immediately went to work. I felt he was individually concerned about the problem. As a matter of fact, I only had to present my Passport as identification, it was recorded and in less than 2 minutes, the doctor was getting an assessment from me and then on to solution. They have more doctors per capita than any other country and every citizen has a doctor. Cuba produces the most excellent of doctors in the world in my assessment which is more more of a calculated sum than an opinion.

Damn, would I love to see these four doctors-in-training go before Congress and answer the very same questions that sister Rania so brilliantly asked. The only topic that was not really raised was, "How does this medical training stack up against what an MD trainee would get at a US medical school?" It's almost certain that the US schools would sneer at the quality of training in Cuba on technical grounds. Will these doctors' Cuban credentials be recognized and accepted in the US? Must they sit for the the United States Medical Licensing Exam, or USMLE like doctors trained in other countries? What is their USMLE success rate? Thank you so much, Rania!

American doctors have the lower success and efficacy for their patients. Their patients are the most unhealthy and the least educated(about their health) patients compared to their Cuban counterparts. It is a fact that Cuba provides more doctors to the developing world than all G8 countries combine. Cuba's infectious disease program is arguably the best in the world. Cuba is 95% vaccinated. So I'm not sure what American MDs would actually be able to sneer about. Lastly America battles with Mexico as most obese country. And most chronic diseases like diabetes linked to being overweight.

The process of taking the USMLE exams and applying for the residency programs for the junior doctors are the same wether they graduated from Cuba or UK, Germany, Japan, Burundi, etc… The process if fair and equal for everyone.. The success depend how well you do on those exams, and generally the Cuban graduates do very well!

I think she answered this question when she said "They learn to prevent diseases instead of patching it up with big pharma drugs companies who have an army of lobbyists". Personally, I like the Canadian healthcare system, tax me more and I get free health care.

I've always been told that a Cuban medical degree doesn't have any standing in the US. They basically have to translate their transcripts to validate them and still have to go back to school and perform residency in the states before they let you practice. Hopefully, since they are from the states and they were approved to go there, they won't have to deal with transcript issues and they let them practice without any barriers. Wishing you all the best in your medical career!
