The healthcare facility, one of the main centers in the Canary Islands, has received the new cohort of professionals who will undertake specialized training in various medical, nursing, and clinical psychology areas over the coming years. This year marks a milestone with the introduction of the Emergency Medicine specialty.
The institutional welcome ceremony was attended by the center's managing director, accompanied by the medical director, the nursing deputy director, the head of studies from the Teaching Commission, and hospital teaching staff. A keynote lecture on ageism and its societal and healthcare impact was also delivered during the event.
Age is just a number
A fifth-year Cardiology resident shared their experience and the challenges of this new professional phase with the newcomers, emphasizing the importance of effort and perseverance.
The new residents will train in over thirty medical specialties, including Cardiology, Internal Medicine, Neurology, Oncology, Pediatrics, and Gynecology, alongside the new programs in Legal and Forensic Medicine and Emergency Medicine. In nursing, training will focus on Pediatrics, Midwifery, Mental Health, and Occupational Medicine, while Clinical Psychology professionals will begin their specialization.
With this new intake, the Insular-Materno Infantil University Hospital Complex reinforces its role as a leading center for specialized healthcare training in the Canary Islands, integrating over a hundred future professionals for the public health system.
