The Albarran Virtual School of Medicine and Surgery is essentially a virtual medical school. It is used by our members and our student members. The school provides a forum for participants all over the world to bring forth their questions and points of view. Dr Joaquín Albarran was born in Sagua La Grande, Cuba and studied medicine in Barcelona, Spain and later in Paris. He did all his professional work outside of the island of Cuba. Therefore, Albarrán presents a historical medical figure that is a counter part to that of Dr. Carlos J. Finlay. The latter studied medicine abroad in the United States but did essentially all his clinical work, elegant epidemiology, careful clinical experimentation, pioneering microbiology of viruses, and effective public health interventions in the island of Cuba.
