Cuba - Team A - Peds & Autism Team
In Cuba our “ academic” mission is to give one or two lectures (repeated in several provincial hospitals) per day updating topics of your choosing. The audiences consist of students, faculty, staff, nurses at university hospitals in five or six provinces. Translation is provided.
The cities of Havana, Matanzas, and Pinar del Rio have separate pediatric and adult teaching hospitals. The cities of Consolacion del Sur, San Cristobal, and San Jose de las Lajas have smaller, level 2 general hospitals or just multispecialty out patient polyclinics.

It has been requested by our in-country hosts that we wear team shirts. This is a symbol of being unified in purpose: evangelism through medicine in Cuba through excellence in teaching and mentoring. Please plan to wear your shirts during your presentations. MEI is ready to receive your polo shirt order. The cost is $20 per shirt. The brilliant blue color has been chosen for our MEI teams. They are dry fit and should dry quickly if you want to order one and wash it out as needed. Some only order one while others may order multiple ones.
