This documentary provides an incredible in-depth view of learning at ELAM. ELAM (the Latin American School of Medicine) is an international medical school run by the Cuban government to train physicians from around the world on free scholarships.

ELAM is the largest medical school in the world by enrollment, 19,550 students as of 2012. For comparison, Harvard Medical School only teaches 712 medical students today. ELAM is incredibly diverse, with students from all across the world. For example, over 500 Palestinian students attend ELAM.

USians can apply to ELAM via the Interreligious Foundation for Community Organization. For those of you in other countries, you can apply to ELAM through Cuban diplomatic missions in the your home country. Here’s ELAM’s website (in Spanish) if y’all find it helpful.
