TO IMPROVE

Have a common training

program throughout

Spain

The need of a structured

program of Molecular

Pathology rotation

Less autopsies are requested

Autopsy training is reduced

The elective rotations are

self-financed by the

residents

Future perspective

To extend the

training

program to 5

years

To extend the

number of Resident

vacancies

To incorporate a

molecular

pathology rotation

in the program

To promote

“The Progress test”

Important tool
