Arianne Aquino, MD is a 2025 graduate of Escuela Latinoamericana de Medicina (ELAM) - the Latin American School of Medicine, one of the largest international medical schools located in Havana, Cuba, with students from over 170 countries. The presentation will explore what experiences led her to study medicine, why specifically in Cuba, and what's next after she takes (and passes!!!) the Foreign Medical Graduates Exam that will allow her to practice in the US.  She can share some reflections on the way healthcare is set up in Cuba as compared with the US and how she would like to practice here.
