Comments• Recently, we started to work in a rural
project for the students. I´m interested in the survey conclusions.
• It´s very interesting to offer this kind of teaching for the students as a option. We offer rural practise in summer as free accreditation in certain rural centers. Students can choose this possibility.
• We think it´s difficult to organise a rural period of learning for our students.

More comments• We offer a period of primary care practises
for our students. (It’s not clear if they offer rural or urban period).
• We show rural care different from urban care. We remark the differences within different countries, economies... too.
They are interested in relationship or stages of its students with experts and institutions.

Spanish highlights• 30.000 doctors work in primary care.• 19.000 of them work as rural doctors.• 42% of the doctor’s employment in the Spanish Health
System is as a Family Doctor. • Family Physician was born in Spain as a medical
speciality in 1978. Period of training: 3 years.• A new program of Family Physician Learning started in
2005. It has changed the period of training to 4 years. It’s compulsory a rural period of practise for three months.
It’s advisable into the second year of learning.

Family Physician presence in Spanish Universities
• In Spain, there are 29 Universities with their own School of Medicine.
• None of them have a Family Physician Department.
• Certain Universities have reached an agreement with health centers to increase their presence in Primary Care. Family doctors work in collaboration with them.

“The extension of the learning period in Family Medicine in Spain will only be sufficient if it goes with the presence of
Family Medicine Departments in Spanish Universities”.
