Meet Ramon Bernal

Hi, I'm Ramon Alejandro Bernal, the first student from Seattle to receive the opportunity for a free medical education at ELAM, the Latin American School of Medicine in Havana.

ELAM is the largest medical school in the world, and trains physicians from the Carribbean, Central and South America, Africa, and the United States. Students make a commitment to return to their underserved communities after graduation. There are presently 110 US students studying at ELAM.

I am now in my third year at ELAM, acquiring clinical skills and taking care of patients. You are welcome to read my stories about my experiences studying in Cuba. Thank you.

Sincerely,
Ramon Alejandro Bernal
