Training

Continuing Education is a duty and a right of the professional and there is no doubt that the Professional Associations play a relevant and essential role in maintaining professional competence. As stated in the Law for the Management of Health Professions (LOPS) “Continuing education is the process of active and permanent teaching and learning to which health professionals have the right and obligation, which begins at the end of undergraduate studies or specialization and is intended to update and improve the knowledge, skills and attitudes of health professionals to scientific and technological developments and the demands and needs, both social and health system itself”.In order to develop one of its main objectives, which is Continuing Education, the Official Institution of Physicians of Alicante has created the Continuing Education Commission whose main purpose is to organize and promote training activities that offer the medical professional the possibility to maintain and increase their knowledge and skills to meet the continuing challenges posed by the practice of our profession.

Mutual Médica collaborates with the Institution of Physicians of Alicante in Continuing Medical Education, through a collaboration agreement established for this purpose.
