Fecha de publicación: | 2014 | Editor/a: | 0212-6567 | Publicación seriada: | Atencion Primaria | Resumen: | Objective: To determine if there are significant differences between universities in the proclivity to choose Family and Community Medicine (FCM), given the constraints imposed by the number of choice. To test the hypothesis that the Schools of Medicine that have the FCM as a compulsory subject in the degree (3 of 27) had the highest preference for this specialty. Design: Observational study on the data file of all the individuals taking the MIR examination between 2003 and 2011. Location: Spain. Participants: All those who sat the examinations called by MIR 2003-2011. Main measurements: Position in the ranking of each candidate, elected position (specialty and center), post code of residence, sex, nationality and university in which they studied, and post code location for the residence chosen. Results: The percentage electing FCM is highly correlated with the position in the ranking: 8% of graduates for the 'best' college, 46% for the worst. Very noticeable and consistent differences in the preparation for the MIR among the 27 medical schools. Ranking in the exam, female and foreigner, help predict the choice of FCM. The FCM compulsory curriculum from three universities does not seem to exert any influence. Conclusions: The convenient yardstick competition between the schools of medicine, FCM in their curriculum and the emphasis on the most attractive attributes of the specialty can contribute to the necessary renewal of FCM. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10553/48460 | ISSN: | 0212-6567 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.aprim.2013.08.004 | Fuente: | Atencion Primaria[ISSN 0212-6567],v. 46 (3), p. 140-146 |
