title: [The family and community medicine resident facing his/her specialization (I)].
abstract: A questionnaire was sent out to the interns in Family and Community Medicine throughout the country in the last month of training. The objective was to find out the degree of fulfillment and the evaluation of the Official Program of the Specialty as far as courses, rotations and duty periods were concerned. We received 170 questionnaires (response rate: 49.8%). The obligatory courses are overwhelmingly attended, but not so the optional ones. What stands out especially is the incorrect length of rotation among Internal Medicine, Pediatrics, and Primary Health Care. The specializations which draw the most interest due to their eventual use are Internal Medicine, Pediatrics, and Primary Health Care, and the least interesting are Gynaecology, Otorhinolaryngology and Ophthalmics. Roughly half have not had any duty watches in Surgery and Primary Care. With these results in hand, we recommend some changes be made in the specialization programs.
