Abstract:
:Medical specialization has brought about the need to guarantee suitability for its practice. The progressive changes in knowledge and the incorporation of specific technologies, set forth the need to periodically demonstrate this capacity. In developed countries different initiatives, that sooner or later will become generalized, are trying to pursue this objective. The employed methodology, specially the procedure applied by the Board of Internal Medicine, can be an adaptable model for the peculiarities of our country when CONACEM, the local specialties certifying organism, takes over the accomplishment of this process. Special consideration must be given to this system as an encourager of continued medical education.
