their home countries and help develop health care systems.   The 
students come from 30 countries, including eight African nations.  The 
Cuban government has opened up 500 places for young people from the US 
to come and study medicine for free, in exchange for the pledge that 
they will come back and work in underserved areas of the US. 
Approximately 120 Americans are currently enrolled.
