ALBANIA

Basic Medical Education

The Basic Medical Education remains mostly hospital-oriented and Primary Health Care elements are only now being included, but very slowly. For many reasons we were not able to introduce Family Medicine in the curricula of the medical students for this academic year.

Postgraduate Training

The duration of Postgraduate Training in Family Medicine in Albania is still two years. We are negotiating to extend the programme to three years and to reorganize the curriculum, but due to economic constraints and many other reasons this can not be guaranteed for this year. Half of the training period is expected to be spent in primary health care settings under the supervision of qualified family doctors.

Continuous Medical Education

Using all the resources available and the international help, we have managed to develop a CME Curriculum for the doctors who have completed the Postgraduate Training.
