What is the future of the specialization of family medicine in Spain?

“In Spain there is a lack of incentives for young doctors to specialize in family medicine. And, precisely for this reason, we want to review and find out what the motivations, experiences or incentives are. This is the concern of Pedro García Ramos, president of SEMG Extremadura to highlight within the framework of Spanish-Portuguese Conference of Primary Care Physicians Which will take place in Badajoz on March 22 and 23. Their objective is to analyze the situation in which the specialty of family medicine finds itself, in particular, its future in the short and medium term. During two days of the Spanish-Portuguese conference for primary care doctors, there will be an update, both knowledge and improvement of skills, in pathologies with high prevalence in primary care. According to Garcia, “Really, this is a day that is designed primarily for the participation of registered doctors, we want them to be very interactive.”
