Regarding the article by Frank Quintana et al. (Assessment of a Complementary Curricular Strategy for Training South African Physicians in a Cuban Medical University) in the July 2012 issue of MEDICC Review, medical education has to be specific to the country of practice. The mere fact of being a doctor in one country does not necessarily mean that one has all the knowledge and abilities needed to practice in other parts of the world. Countries differ in their disease patterns, cultural values and even in the technology they use. Therefore, moving from one country to another will always require a period of adaptation.
