This weekend I came home and I've come to the event for an entire graduating class of undergraduates in medicine, the conclusion of proof of access to specialized health training, or examination MIR. Is tension in the air breathed, Avenida Ramón y Cajal Viapol vertebra was completely packed. Even a passer-by asked what was happening there if it was a protest or a celebration. Rather, second, banners, clappers and other instruments of agitation and excitement mingled with the buzzing audience gathered there to encourage his people to embrace them back to reality. Congratulations you're done! It was one of the most listened to screams, and other less politically correct (Give us down, write down !)...
However this meeting as well as test the surprises themselves, has brought some others, especially with regard to the specialty of this blog is often more economical to make, Immunology, and especially of Immunology Clinic or doctor. For this promotion has been examined have been called 29 places of Immunology, of which only 7 may be filled by graduates in medicine, in Spain!
The list of hospitals that have achieved their future places for resident physicians in Immunology are:
Hospital Universitario Marqués de Valdecilla (Santander): 1 square. Complex Care
de León (León): 1 seat.
Hospital Universitario La Paz (Madrid): 1 square.
Universitario Ramón y Cajal Hospital (Madrid): 1 square.
Hospital Universitario Puerta de Hierro Majadahonda (Madrid): 1 square.
Hospital Universitario Clínico San Carlos (Madrid): 1 square.
Hospital General Universitario Gregorio Marañón (Madrid): 1 seat.
From this list, and last year, have dropped major hospitals, great weight and importance of media research and care, such as the Hospital Clinic of Barcelona, \u200b\u200bthe Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau, also in Barcelona, \u200b\u200bthe Hospital Universitario de Badajoz, Hospital Donostia-San Sebastian, Hospital Universitario Central de Asturias, Oviedo and Hospital de Son Dureta in Palma de Mallorca.
In this way, are only seven hospitals MIR offering teaching in Immunology, profiled the Community of Madrid as one of the last bastions and the largest by number of schools for Medical Immunology. It seems that at least we are there and on this boat, we picked a good place to train and develop our discipline, our profession and our vocation.
Is this a set back? What will the specialty in the future? Will there Immunology? Doctors are not needed and why this decrease in the number of seats?
is completely incomprehensible to me this drastic decrease in the number of places offered. My day to day as rotating interns in Immunology purely clinical services is teaching me that what the health claim is completely opposite, and is showing me the importance of our dual specialty, clinic and laboratory for the diagnosis of autoimmune diseases , monitoring and treatment, and therapeutic specialists and consultants as well as potential partners in multiple research projects with colleagues from other specialties in our area, one of the least known in scientific and clinical today.
This decision, I fear that Spain has sealed his resignation as an exporter of knowledge and advances in Autoimmune Diseases. Maybe we is cheaper to buy foreign technology to adjust budgets. So it is a country and then leave us. Fortunately, in other places do not follow our example.
