Some Medical Students Avoiding Huge School Debts by Studying in Cuba

March 31, 2016 Leave a Comment

Medical students in U.S. faced an average of $180,000 in debt after graduation. By 2025, the Association of American Medical Colleges projects that the U.S. will have a shortage of 130,600 physicians. More than half of the shortgage will be in primary care as more medical students choosing subspecialites for higher pays. Due to higher economic barrier, some students are ditching America for medical school in Cuba. The Latin American Medical School is free for students with no tuition, room, or board. Over 100 American students have joined this medical school route and and Sarpoma Sefa-Boakye is one of them. “I called the office asking how much the program cost, how much the application fee was. They were just like ‘free, free,’” says Sefa-Boakye. “It boggles my mind they make it so expensive and so hard to be a doctor” in U.S. says Darnna Banks, who recently graduated in Cuba and matched to a pediatrics residency program in Chicago.
