espanolAntecedentes: el programa de formacion de la Especialidad de Aparato Digestivo, que deben seguir los Medicos Internos y Residentes de Aparato Digestivo, obliga a que estos dominen la ecografia digestiva diagnostica y terapeutica. Metodos: la Asociacion Espanola de Ecografia Digestiva ha realizado una encuesta a los 93 Servicios de Aparato Digestivo con programa de formacion de Medicos Internos y Residentes de Aparato Digestivo para conocer la situacion exacta de la docencia en ecografia digestiva. Resultados: solo 31 de los 93 (33%) Servicios de Aparato Digestivo podian dar formacion en Ecografia Digestiva. Un 33% (48 de 148) de los Medicos Internos y Residentes de Aparato Digestivo no recibian una formacion especifica en ecografia digestiva, y otro 31% (46 de 148) recibian una formacion especifica pero en condiciones mejorables. Estas deficiencias afectaban a todas las Comunidades Autonomas de Espana, 8 de las cuales carecian totalmente de Servicios de Aparato Digestivo con capacidad para formar en Ecografia Digestiva. Conclusiones: existe un deficit importante de Servicios de Aparato Digestivo que puedan dar formacion en Ecografia Digestiva a los Medicos Internos y Residentes de Aparato Digestivo y ello provoca una notable desigualdad formativa. Hasta que se pueda revertir esta situacion, la Asociacion Espanola de Ecografia Digestiva ha disenado un proyecto formativo en Ecografia Digestiva dirigido a dar una docencia adecuada a todos los Medicos Internos y Residentes de Aparato Digestivo que lo necesiten. EnglishBackground: the training program of the gastroenterology specialty that is mandatory for resident physicians, obliges them to be proficient in diagnostic and therapeutic digestive ultrasound tools. Methodology: the Asociacion Espanola de Ecografia Digestiva (AEED) performed a survey of the 93 Departments of Gastroenterology with training programs for resident physicians in gastroenterology, in order to assess the exact situation of training in digestive ultrasound in Spain. Results: only 31 of the 93 (33%) Departments of Gastroenterology were able to provide training in Digestive Ultrasound. Moreover, 33% (48 out of 148) of the residents in gastroenterology did not receive specific training in digestive ultrasound. Whereas, 31% (46 out of 148) had received some specific training, but with ample room for improvement. These deficiencies were spread throughout the Spanish regions (Autonomous Communities) in an uneven manner, with almost half totally lacking gastroenterology departments that were capable of providing digestive ultrasound training. Conclusions: there is a significant deficit of gastroenterology departments capable of providing training in digestive ultrasound to residents, causing a significant training inequality. Until this situation can be reversed, the AEED has designed a training project in digestive ultrasound aimed at providing adequate training to all residents in gastroenterology as required. |
