'Why I studied medicine in Cuba'
Presentations by Dr. Lillian Holloway
Wednesday April 14 at 6:30pm
7th floor, Glickman Library, University of Southern Maine
314 Forest Avenue, Portland
Thursday April 15th at 12pm
Honor's Lounge of the Randall Technology Building

Thursday April 15th at 7pm
Bowdoin College Cram Alumni Barn, 83 Federal Street

Lillian Holloway will be speaking in Maine about Cuban Health care and about opportunities for U.S. students to study at the Latin American School of Medicine. Presently 120 of them are enrolled at the School. Cuba's Latin American School of Medicine prepares new doctors at absolutely no cost to the students. Some 10,000 of them are studying there, and 1500 graduate every year. They come from 30 countries, including eight African nations. They have committed to serving the underserved when they become physicians. Dr. Holloway grew up in West Philadelphia and worked as a certified nursing assistant before deciding to study medicine. She will soon enter a residency training program preparing her either for family practice or emergency medicine.
Dr. Holloway will be accompanied by Ellen Bernstein, Associate Director of Pastors for Peace. That organization recruits students for the Latin American School of Medicine and provides them with administrative support.
For more information, call Tom Whitney at (207) 743-2183
