Medical specialization is the unique option for future physicians?

Abstract

Today, many students of medicine and bachelor graduates still consider the specialty as an option for excellence to which they have to devote their efforts.  Not include general medicine as their area of professional development, however know that the vast majority of applicants to join a specialized course difficult to materialize such a claim because the bid for a place, is by far exceeded by the many doctors who  are competing each year. This may have its origin in the stigma that society has condemned to medicine, under the assumption that a higher level of specialization, more social recognition, better development opportunities and labor income, although the pathological profile countries like ours, require more and better  general practitioners whose pattern of action, are predominantly preventive activities and those that promote health in the population changes from the health education curriculum as well as modifications and vocational guidance to enable us to GPs get engaged and satisfied with their work under a transdisciplinary vision.
