%X during this last decade, medical schools have been forced to adapt their curricula to the new teaching requirements, determined by the change in the approach to health problems, to the modification of morbility and mortality patterns and to the technological and scientific advances. sub-specialization gives no answer to the holistic and integrated approach to the patient. the introduction of family medicine curricula would give a solution to this teaching gap, so frequent in spanish faculties, curricula which is been developed for decades in most american and european universities. a proposition of the contents, teaching methodology and development of the subject of family medicine is suggested, easy to adapt to our faculties of medicine, leaving an open door to a more complete and longitudinal education in family medicine in the future.
