YES YOU CAN HELP END THE BLOCKADE OF CUBA. YES, YOU CAN HELP CUBA AND THE PEOPLE OF CUBA. YES, YOU CAN HELP THE LATIN AMERICAN SCHOOL OF MEDICINE make doctors out of Americans. The Peace and Justice Center from Nashville hosted a zoom with members of IFCO, the Intereligious Foundation for Community Organization Pastors for Peace. Cheryl Bash introduced the organization and then Dr. Samir Addrey a US citizen and a graduate of the Latin American School of Medicine described how Cuba educates doctors from around the world and then sends Doctors around the world to help where they are needed. Cuba does all this despite the more than 60-year-old, draconian blockade by the United States, a blockade that Obama started to lift, Trump reinstated and Biden maintains.

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 free, and they even throw 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 - if not 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.

“Time for an Awakening” for Sunday 10/03/21 at 7:00 PM our guest was Doctor of Internal Medicine at MoreHouse School of Medicine, Dr.  Abeeku Dada. In continuation of “Covid 19,The Vaccine, and Black America” series, we heard from Dr. Dada from a front lines point of view dealing with this pandemic from in a Hospital. He talked about his years of Medical training at the Latin American School of Medicine in Havana Cuba to presently practicing at an Atlanta area hospital.

This week's show features the dynamic Dr. Sarpoma Sefa-Boakye, a family medicine physician from the US, with Ghanian roots. Dr. Sarpoma attended the Latin American School of Medicine (ELAM) in Havana,Cuba. Contrary to popular belief, it was always her dream to attend an international medical school, despite her being a US citizen. From a young age, she was passionate about international art and culture which contributed to her having been awarded a partial scholarship for her undergraduate degree from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA).There, she studied pre-medicine along with international development studies, which served to broaden her world view by affording her the opportunity to travel to Ghana, the land of her heritage, where she had the pleasure of meeting Cuban trained doctors who served there. It was from that moment that she became interested in studying medicine in Cuba which later became a reality when she received a full scholarship to do so. Dr. Sarpoma always knew she wanted to practice in the US after her education, and with that goal in mind, she persevered until she achieved a residency match in family medicine in the state of California. She faced several challenges including the fact that in her final two years, she became a mother, which coupled with the adjustments necessary to assimilate back into a completely different medical academic system, were obstacles that she overcame that shaped her personal journey. Today, she is a board certified family physician who works both independently and with community clinics in her fields of interest, namely adolescent health care and women's reproductive rights. Though challenging, she sees the fact that she studied in a foreign country in a foreign language as an asset, as it served as a tool to make her resilient, mature and compassionate when dealing with patients of all backgrounds. This Episode focuses on: Bridging the gap and adjusting study habits in order to connect what you've learnt at an international medical school to what is being tested in US based standardized medical exams. Overcoming personal difficulties and the importance of discipline and time-management in maintaining one's mental health while trying to land a US residency. The importance of networking and intense strategy in order to make your perceived weaknesses actually become your strengths. How to use your free time to maximize your supplementary clinical and non clinical experiences and using extracurriculars to enhance your CV. Some key takeaways include: As an IMG, never compare yourself with US graduates. Though it may seem that they have a large advantage, it is all new to them as well. Always get to know as many people and as much information in your field. Knowledge and being engaged is key. Be realistic and pragmatic in your approach. Sometimes it's best to stay local when examining your opportunities so that you can have your support system closeby to help you along the way.

Today's guest is a newly minted family medicine resident. She is a US-IMG who attended medical school in Cuba and graduated in 2007! Yes… she only just matched in 2020! I know what you're thinking: 13 years after graduation! Many will call Dr. Kenya an “old IMG” because it has been several years since she graduated, but in this episode she is showing you HOW she did this! In this episode, you will also learn: How Dr. Kenya matched on 3rd application attempt after 2 cycles of not matching! (you read that right - she was determined) Dr. Kenya's advice for mothers dealing with mommy guilt and other parenting concerns while on this IMG path. Perspective on working as a medical scribe, medical assistant and other clinical jobs while waiting to match into residency. How to continue on this path even after tragedy (like she she did after losing her father) This is one of my favorites yet because it is packed with pearls for every IMG who feels non-traditional and also has practical advice that every IMG needs to learn. Check out her message to you below: “I am a U.S. born, bilingual (English and Spanish), International Medical Graduate from the Latin American School of Medicine in Cuba. I received a B.A. in Spanish Language & Literature from the University of California, Berkeley. Growing up in a military family, my upbringing was seasoned with cultural diversity. I am married with three beautiful children. I worked to help support my family, while studying for the USMLEs. My journey has been full of adversity including the tragic death of my father but despite all the odds I matched into Family Medicine and I share my journey experience to inspire others. “ --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/ninalum/support
