Latin American School of Medicine (LASM) (Spanish: Escuela Latinoamericana de Medicina (ELAM)) formerly Latin American School of Medical Sciences (Escuela Latinoamericana de Ciencias Médicas), is an international public medical school operated by the Cuban government established in 1999 and supported by the Venezuelan Government (RBDEV). Its mission is to "contribute to the training of Primary Health Care physicians in diverse regions of the World" according to Almaty objectives.[1]
ELAM has been described as possibly being the largest medical school in the world by enrollment, with approximately 19,550 students from 110 countries as reported in 2012.[2] International students mainly come from Latin America and the Caribbean, as well as Africa and Asia. The school accepts students from the United States — annually, the program receives 150 applications on average, of which about 30 enroll, and 10 travel to Cuba.[3] Tuition, room and board are free, and a small stipend is provided for students.[4][5][6][7][8]
