Certifying achievement in the control of Chagas disease native vectors: what is a viable scenario?

As an evaluation scheme, we propose certifying for “control”, as alternative to “interruption”, of Chagas disease transmission by native vectors, to project a more achievable and measurable goal and sharing good practices through an “open online platform” rather than “formal certification” to make the key knowledge more accumulable and accessible.

General practice residency training program in Thailand: past, present, and future.

The General Practice was approved by the Thai Medical Council as a specialty in 1969. The residency training programs were revised in 1992. The first three - year rotating postgraduate residency training program was started in 1973 with a total of 9 programs by the late 1980s. Seven were in Bangkok, and the other 2 were in the North. The programs contained curricula objectives, clinical rotation in various disciplines including a general practice block in provincial or community hospitals. The weakness of the programs was the lack of a general practice department, a general practice trainer or preceptor and a general practice course organizer. Finally, the General Practitioners Association played a little role in the postgraduate general practice residency. After the revision, the general practice residency was changed to family medicine residency training in 1999. The College of Family Physicians of Thailand was established to take a central role in postgraduate education.

Evaluación y control de calidad en medicina familiar / Evaluation and quality control in family medicine

La evaluación es importante para los jóvenes médicos que aspiran a realizar una carrera en Medicina Familiar. Ellos quieren estar seguros que los programas de entrenamiento son de alto nivel, basados en objetivos educacionales que son medidos tanto durante su formación como al final de la misma. También quieren un reconocimiento, a través de un Certificado o Diploma, de que han alcanzado dicho nivel. Con el objeto de formular sus objetivos para la próxima década una de las prioridades del CIMF será observar críticamente la necesidad de estudios nacionales e internacionales para el adiestramiento de médicos de familia en las Américas y considerar la forma y los medios de establecer un proceso de evaluación que permita distinguir a aquellos médicos de familia que han alcanzado esos estándares
