Tutor's guide to planning and managing the training of residents

Abstract

Specialized training in Spain is the responsibility of health institutions, which have a teaching structure to regulate, supervise and evaluate. Within this structure, the tutor is directly responsible for guaranteeing the correct training of the resident. However, despite this great legal and ethical responsibility, sometimes this challenge is accepted without having experience and without having the necessary training to carry out the tasks that require mentoring. In this article, it is presented what the tutor should know, know how to do and know how to be. in order to understand that tutoring is more than management, highlighting its educational aspect to train professionals of excellence in the scientific-technical and human aspects.
