Quite literally a huge mistake on my part. I was looking for advice on how to attend medical school in Cuba, any age limits for self financed students, what requirements I need grade wise, etc.

Instead, when I clicked on the Reddit link, I got people talking about how people needed to bring their own gauze for surgery, the doctors there are incompetent, and the hospitals lack resources. The lack of resources was blamed on the healthcare system and the country rather than the embargo.

Next time I just need to email CubaHeal because that was so disheartening to read.

If you're American, you apply to ELAM through the Interreligious Foundation for Community Organization (the official USA-Cuba liaison organization for this program, led by Claudia De la Cruz from PSL) here: https://ifconews.org/elam

I've made an earlier post with more info on ELAM: https://lemmygrad.ml/post/5868962

Best of luck to your application! If you get in, you gotta post to show us everything inside Cuba.

    I appreciate the rec but I’m too old to attend ELAM, you have to be between 18-25 apparently, and I am not American. Although CubaHeal seems like the place to contact for Canadians to attend med school in Cuba.
