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
