Cuba - Team B - Surgical Team
Surgeons and anyone with surgical interests can participate and are welcome in November 7-17, 2024. The ability to do surgery varies widely within each specialty depending upon local Cuban expertise/interest and also equipment which varies widely. Dentists, medical students and residents are welcome and would lecture/interact with their Cuban peers. We had students, residents, PAs and even a dentist at our lectures during past trips. CMDA offers scholarships for students/residents. Interested? Find out more here: https://cmda.org/mission-scholarships/
Non-medical family members are also welcome and typically serve by visiting patients in the wards and handing out small gifts that we bring with us.

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.
