Cuba has graduated 170 doctors from the United States through the project of
the Latin American School of Medicine (ELAM), which was initiated by Cuban
leader Fidel Castro in November 1999
In exclusive to Cuban News Agency, Zenia Díaz Catalá, director of the
general secretariat of the ELAM project, said that since the first
graduation in 2005, to date, ELAM have graduated more than 28,500 doctors
from 103 countries, free of charge.
Dr. David Floyd, from the 2016-2017 promotion, thanked the Cuban leadership,
the Cuban people, the teachers and workers of this noble project, an
example of integration between peoples for a more humane world.
For me it has been a wonderful experience, I am impressed on the link
between study and work, unlike training in the United States and other
nations, stressed the young physician.
In Cuba we are trained by touching the patient, that was the greatest thing,
the solidarity; in my country no one helps the other student, here teachers
support the preparation with excellent behavior, said Floyd, an African-
American, who studied in Cuba for seven years, including the pre-doctor
studies.
The doctor finished his curricula at the Salvador Allende Faculty of the
University of Medical Sciences of Havana, an institution that graduated 52
foreign doctors, 25 of them from the United States, Dr. Suiberto Echavarría
, dean of that institution, said.
David Floyd, the father of the recent graduate, conveyed his eternal
gratitude and said he was very impressed, pleased and honored because his
son is a doctor trained in Cuba under ethical and moral principles, with a
humanist conception.
Diaz Catalá explained that currently the ELAM project has an enrollment of
4,969 students from 112 nations in the 21 faculties of the country’s
medical science universities, of which 83 are from the United States. | t*******a
