Latin American School of Medicine (ELAM)

The Latin American School of Medicine (ELAM, founded 1999) is an internationally significant Cuban medical school that has trained tens of thousands of low-income international students from across Latin America, the Caribbean, Africa, and elsewhere — often free of charge — in a community-oriented medical model. ⚠️ Recognition of the ELAM MD for practice in your home country must be independently verified (graduates typically must pass their home country's licensing examinations); see the practical advisory. Official standalone website could not be confidently verified — confirm via the Cuban Ministry of Public Health / Ministry of Higher Education.

Always confirm a university's current accreditation with the named national authority, and that the qualification is recognised in the country where you intend to use it, before enrolling or paying any fees. AlmiStudy records information to help you check — it is not an endorsement.
