E-mail: [email protected] Dear Mr. Editor: After reading with interest the editorial article entitled “The academization of primary care”, written by Dr. Liz Hamui Sutton and Dr. José Halabe Cherem, we would like to comment on the experience we have in this regard at the Faculty of Medicine of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM). In 1997, the Secretariat of Clinical Teaching and Medical Internship introduced seven primary care units in order for students to have the opportunity to develop their professional competences in safe and controlled environments according to the graduate profile for general practitioners. More have been gradually incorporating, and currently there are 31 permanent venues belonging to the Mexican Institute of Social Security (IMSS) and to the Institute of Social Security and Services for State Workers (ISSSTE). These medical fields enable the acquisition of skills associated with medical preliminary training, since interrelations between students, teachers and patients occur naturally, and significant learning is acquired on both theory and clinical practice. In 2015, 15 of these venues were supervised. In these visits, an opinion survey was applied to the students, and both students and teachers were interviewed. In general, trainees expressed feeling satisfied with their learning, which is practically personalized and of a sound academic level. Faculty and authorities also stated feeling happy for having students that, mostly, were responsible and committed. Through the Teaching Training Master program, the teachers of the primary care units have been trained. Currently, we are working on a document where we delve into the obtained results.
