    Dear John David,

    Thanks for your inquiry. There are no free medical schools in the US (although some of us think there should be).

    This posting is about a program for US students to study medicine under scholarship from the Cuban government in Cuba. If you are interested in this Cuban program, I would suggest you contact the Cuban mission in South Africa.

    Best regards, Matt Anderson
