  • Watch this, it is very interesting! I had no idea Cuba offered free scholarships for medical students.

  • I really like what you're doing for underprivileged communities. Be encouraged and continue being excellent in everything you do. I never knew Cuba offered free medical school. The US should offer a similar program. I believe the effect would ultimately cut down on overall health care expenses.

  • Excellent pod that provides a maximum of information in just a few minutes. The visual quality is also first-class. Well done!

  • The content of this documentary is great and the timing is perfect considering we are a rich nation trying to figure out a cheap way to provide basic medical care.

    I am so honored to know Dr. Carmen Landau.

  • Really great story here. You really unwound something unknown.

    One question I had is, was she able to go straight into medical school in Cuba without an undergraduate degree? If so, what was that like etc.

    Otherwise really good.

  • This is an important story. I think that Current should pick this up as it shows how one persons desire to provide healthcare to those that can not afford. It is ironic that her medical education was made possible by a government that the US has opposed since the late 1950's and yet in the US we do not have a similar medical school program.

    If we gave college scholarships with the requirement that the person gives back to the community for a certain number of years it would make a difference. The ROTC provides a college scholarship for years served in the military but we dont have the equivalent for civil service, especially healthcare.
