Resumen

Se presenta la nueva propuesta de Programa de Residencia en la especialidad de Neurocirugía elaborada por la Comisión Nacional a petición del Consejo Nacional de Especialidades. Este nuevo Programa, que una vez publicado, sustituirá al vigente desde 1992, incluye novedades en la totalidad de los apartados, siendo particularmente reseñables la definición de la especialidad, la introducción de nuevas rotaciones, de una nueva figura de Tutor de residentes con un perfil y cometidos bien definidos, un Libro del residente para el registro de todas sus actividades, un plan estructurado de objetivos operativos (tanto clínicos como académicos), una propuesta de formación investigadora y un formulario de evaluación del progreso del residente. La estructura general del nuevo Programa tiende a asimilarse o coincidir con los seguidos en los países vecinos que imparten la mejor formación neuroquirúrgica.

El reto fundamental cara a su implantación y buen funcionamiento es, por un lado, la necesaria ampliación a seis años del periodo de formación, y por otro, la superación de limitaciones tanto estructurales, que afectan a los hospitales con cometido docente, como otras propiamente docentes existentes en nuestro país. Además, existe el riesgo de que el cambio en el papel de las Comisiones Nacionales de las Especialidades, previsto ya en la nueva Ley de Ordenación de las Profesiones Sanitarias pueda conducir al descontrol en el número de plazas de residente convocadas anualmente en España.

Summary

A new Residency Program in Neurological Surgery has been recently elaborated by the “Comisión Nacional de Neurocirugía” following the requirement of the National Council of Specialities. This new Program, which will replace the one proposed in 1992, has been designed in a similar way as those applied in countries providing the best neurosurgical training. Changes included deal with the definition of the speciality, and the introduction of new rotations, a resident Log Book, a Tutor with a well defined profil and commitments, a structured planning of academic and clinical objectives, a rotation or training in research, and a planning for continuous evaluation of the progress of the resident.

It is likely that an appropriate application of the new Program in Spanish neurosurgical units with accreditation for training will result in formation of highly competent neurosurgeons.

However, there are new challenges for improving neurosurgical training and the development of our speciality in Spain, as those related with new legislation regulating resident working hours, or some political decisions changing the mechanisms for controlling the number of resident positions per year.
