| Sumario: | Introduction: The State has promoted training in family and general medicine (FGM) to strengthen primary care (PC), but the number of allocated positions has not changed, leading many graduates to migrate to other specialties. Low remuneration and prestige have been mentioned as reasons for this. Considering that the early years of professional practice are crucial, it is essential to understand the career paths of FGM specialists during this stage.
Objective: To describe the characteristics influencing employment placement of these specialists and suggest solutions to this resource crisis.
Methodology: In-depth interviews were conducted with FGM residency graduates with over 5 years of practice who lived in Cordoba. Content analysis was performed to identify and understand the categories of analysis, using Atlas Ti software.
Results: It was found that the social capital acquired during training was the most relevant factor to get a job. The reality of women is influenced by caregiving responsibilities they have at home. Consequences of the decentralization process were observed. Positive influences of public policies aimed at primary care were described.
Conclusions: We believe the key lies in considering how to produce health taking into account the workforce available for this task. |
