RESUMEN

Continuing medical education (CME) is a critical tool as well as a generally accepted concern for physicians, while being both a commitment and an obligation for the Administration. In Spain, during the past decades, CME has been a constant concern of many groups; however, it was not until the end of the eighties when efforts at accreditation began to emerge. A significant step was the establishment of the Commission on Continuing Education of Health Professions of the National Health System, an agency of the Consejo Interterritorial (Inter-regional Council), whose accreditation system started in 1998, using the figure of Sector Conference, included in Articles 5 and 8 of the Ley de Régimen Jurídico de las Administraciones Públicas y del Procedimiento Administrativo Común (Law on Legal Regime of Public Administration and Common Administrative Procedures), as Senior Technical Body on the matter. Since then, various Regional Committees and the Spanish Accreditation System of Continuing Medical Education (SEAFORMEC) have been created. Although we earlier published a guide, in this manuscript we have updated the steps that must be taken to apply for accreditation of CME activity in Allergology, explaining the different items in the official application form, clarifying to whom the request should be addressed, and outlining the foundations on which the activities will be evaluated for accreditation purposes, in order to ensure that the training meets the highest standards for quality, so that the objectives that lead to achieving maximum performance and competence of health professionals may be reached.

RESUMEN

La formación médica continuada (FMC) constituye una herramienta fundamental para el profesional de Ja medicina. Constituye una preocupación ampliamente asumida por los profesionales sanitarios, al tiempo que un compromiso y una obligación de Ja administración. En España, durante los últimos decenios, la FMC ha sido preocupación constante de múltiples colectivos, sin embargo no ha sido hasta finales de los 80 cuando han surgido las primeras iniciativas de acreditación. Un paso trascendental lo constituyó la creación de la Comisión de Formación Continuada de las Profesiones Sanitarias del Sistema Nacional de Salud, dependiente del Consejo lntertenitorial, cuyo sistema de acreditación inició su singladura en 1998, mediante la utilización de la figura de Conferencia Sectorial, prevista en los artículos 5 y 8 de la Ley de Régimen Jurídico de las Administraciones Públicas y del Procedimiento Administrativo Común, como órgano técnico superior en la materia. Desde entonces se han ido creando las diversas Comisiones Autonómicas existentes, no todas ellas actualmente en funcionamiento, y el Sistema Español de Acreditación de la Formación Médica Continuada (SEAFORMEC). Aunque antes habíamos publicado una guía, en el pre ente manuscrito se actualizan y describen los pasos que deben darse para solicitar la acreditación de una actividad de Formación Médica Continuada en Alergología a la vez que se explican los diferentes puntos del "modelo oficial de solicitud", se aclara a quién debe dirigirse la solicitud y se perfilan los fundamentos sobre los cuales se valoran la actividades a efectos de acreditación, con el fin de garantizar que la actividad formativa cumpla los más altos índices de calidad para conseguir los objetivos (AU)
