He chose this specialty and in this area the first in the province attracted by “the opportunity to develop continuity of care and be present in the evolution of patients’ health at all stages of his life.
Family Medicine, especially in rural areas, suffers from a growing shortage of doctors, as well as nurses, popularly widespread, due to a “lack of attractiveness” that for years has characterized the so-called gateway to the health system.
José Tomás does not share this opinion. “I have trained here and I want to continue developing my new stage and I know that I will have very good training. Furthermore, from a personal point of view, Valme is my hospital. It is the reference center for me and my family along with the primary care centers that also belong to this care area. It allows me to access quality training and continue being close to my family,” explained the young man in the auditorium of the Valme Hospital after the reception ceremony for the new class of residents, which was chaired by the management team, headed by its managing director, Rocío del Castilloaccompanied by the medical director, Ignacio Vallejoand the director of nursing, María José Jiménez.

He defends that it is a specialty that is “versatility, accessibility, continuity of care, bio-psycho-social approach, community activity, health promotion or education” and is committed to “empowering multidisciplinary work groups to analyze these causes and make short, medium and long-term plans.”

We value training in Primary Care and in the hospital identically. We hold quarterly meetings with all residents (R1, R2, R3 and R4) so that they can communicate with us. their needs and propose improvement plans, annual meetings with the tutors through which the residents rotate in the hospital,” he says.
“When they leave, our residents tell us that they would choose the AGS South of Seville again for the teaching quality, personalized treatment, tutoring, rotation possibilities and resident care in this specialty because those are the hallmarks of our teaching,” apostille
