graduates and underserved communities benefit

Graduates should remember the reason why they chose to become a doctor- to help save the lives of others. Who needs the most help but under-served communities? More medical schools should adopt Cuba’s idea of having graduates work in their community. Most underserved communities lack primary care physicians. I think by having graduates do their initial training in these communities, graduates gain experience and the underserved communities gain a doctor. In the video, Venezuela opposes the idea of having Cuban doctors practicing in their country, stating that Cubans are taking away the opportunity for Hondurans to practice. This is not a valid point because Cubans are not intruding in communities where Hondurans practice- they are practicing where Hondurans are unwilling to practice.
