espanolIntroduccion: Aparato Digestivo es una de las especialidades ofertadas a los opositores que acceden a la formacion sanitaria especializada cada ano. Este proyecto analiza los datos de eleccion de Aparato Digestivo en los ultimos anos. Material y metodos: los datos de la eleccion se han obtenido de la publicacion oficial de los actos de asignacion de plazas del Ministerio de Sanidad, Servicios Sociales e Igualdad. Se ha recabado informacion de los distintos centros docentes a traves de sus guias formativas, el Catalogo Nacional de Hospitales y la Organizacion Nacional de Trasplantes. Resultados: la mediana de eleccion de numero de orden para Aparato Digestivo ha descendido anualmente, situando la especialidad en 2015 entre las cinco mas populares en la eleccion. La mediana de los hospitales con mayor numero de camas, actividad de trasplante hepatico en adultos y Unidad de Sangrantes es significativamente menor. Lo mismo sucede al analizar los centros en base a la presencia de guardias especificas de Aparato Digestivo para residentes o vinculacion con facultades de Medicina. Los datos de los ultimos cinco anos situan a Madrid, Aragon y Euskadi como las comunidades autonomas mas populares. Los centros con menor mediana de numero de orden para el periodo 2011-2015 fueron los hospitales universitarios Ramon y Cajal, Santiago de Compostela y Gregorio Maranon. Conclusiones: Aparato Digestivo ha ido mejorando de manera progresiva en la eleccion de plazas de especializacion hasta llegar a situarse entre las cinco mas populares. Los electores se decantan por centros grandes, de mayor complejidad asistencial y elevada actividad investigadora. EnglishIntroduction: Gastroenterology is one of the medical specialties offered to residency training candidates each year. This project analyzes the data associated with the choice of a Gastroenterology residency program in recent years. Material and methods: Data related to specialty selection were obtained from official reports with regard to the allocation of residency places by the Spanish Ministry of Health, Social Services and Equality. Information was collected from various teaching centers via their training guides, the Spanish National Catalogue of Hospitals and the National Transplant Organization. Results: The median consecutive number involved in the choice of Gastroenterology training has decreased year after year, and this specialty is now positioned among the five most commonly selected residency programs in 2015. The median number of hospitals with a higher number of beds, adult liver transplantation activities and dedicated GI bleeding units is significantly lower. This is also true when centers are analyzed according to the presence of specific Gastroenterology on-call shifts for residents or their association with medical schools. Data from the past five years highlight Madrid, Aragon and the Basque Country as the autonomous communities where Gastroenterology is the most popular. Centers selected by candidates with the lowest median consecutive numbers from 2011-2015 included the university hospitals Ramon y Cajal, Santiago de Compostela and Gregorio Maranon. Conclusions: Gastroenterology has gradually escalated in the ranking of residency choices and is now one of the five most popular options. Potential residents prefer larger centers with complex-care patients and more research activity.
