Ricardo Rodríguez González, National President of FEU, presented a unified vision widely discussed by boys and girls: «From the moment Cuban students enter university classrooms, they must develop professional skills of their special use. “Exchange with the community is an important way of humanitarian training for Cuban doctors,” he emphasized.
