ADVANCED THERAPIES AND FAMILY MEDICINE.

Family medicine is always renovating itself, adapting to new medical findings. We are a crucial part of the healthcare model. Nowadays we have to learn new skills and control new diagnostic test and treatments without forgetting the biological-psychological-social model in which we have to take care of the patients and his environment. In the last decades a new path is opened in the treatment of diseases. There are great progresses in advanced therapies, and there are not few patients who ask us in our daily practice about them. As Family doctors we should be taught in those new findings to solve our patient’s doubts and requests. In that way, our training unit is collaborating with the medical school of Granada to asses which is the best way to improve the knowledge in those new areas (not only advanced therapies) in family doctors. Method We have elaborated and validated three surveys; the objective of this project is to evaluate the knowledge and attitude perceptions of family doctors in the new branches of medicine, in particular in advanced therapies. After validating our survey we have contact with the teaching units in Andalucía, with eight provinces and their junior doctors are conducting our surveys. We are studying the perception of knowledge that young doctors have and the way they prefer to learn those new skills. The conclusions will allow us elaborate better teaching models to improve the training program in our medical specialty and improve the health education in our population.
