Evolution of the ANECA-accredited permanent medical teacher for the Degree in Medicine (2019–2024). Expectations for the new accreditation model

The training required for a Medical Degree requires a sufficient faculty structure to guarantee the acquisition of general practitioner skills. The National Conference of Deans of Spanish Medical Schools (CNDFME) has highlighted the significant faculty shortage, maintaining collaboration with university and healthcare institutions, promoting an increase in accredited faculty, modifications to the accreditation model, and the implementation of new teaching positions. The evolution of accredited faculty for the Health Sciences Branch (2019-2024) is described: the number of accredited permanent teachers has increased significantly. The modifications to the accreditation processes incorporated in the Organic Law of the University System (LOSU) and the new accreditation model (RD 678/2023) are considered positive in encouraging the best professionals to join the faculty of the Schools of Medicine.
