Las Figuras Docentes de la Formación de Médicos Especialistas ante el Real Decreto 183/2008: El Jefe de Residentes y el Técnico Docente

the spanish royal decree 183/2008 on specialised medical training in health sciences has meant a substantial change to this kind of training in spain. since its publication, the teaching units (tus) have started a process of adaptation to this decree, a process that is complex and that requires much effort in view of the many significant changes it introduces. the process is complicated even more because the competent institutions have failed to develop regulation on most of the decree's contents, leaving the tus with no guidelines. as an initiative of the education committee on specialised training of the hospital universitario virgen de la arrixaca we present the results of the participant's teamwork (key informers) in a workshop on the update of the regulation on educators in specialised health training that took place in murcia in february 2010. in this case we focus on the proposals developed for the head of residents in training and teachers, with the aim of providing support to the heads of studies and teachers in this adaptation.
