Sažetak
Introduction: After a break of almost 13 years,
speciality training (ST) in FM was restored
introducing the Project: “Harmonisation of
Croatian Family Medicine with European Standards
Introducing Speciality Training“. The Project
started in school year 2003/04. Its main aim was to
obligate all working family doctors (FD), younger
then 50 years of age, to finish ST until 2015.
Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate
whether the Project plans were achieved during the
nine-year period, regarding the number of trainees,
results from the speciality exams and effect to the
percentage of specialist in FM in Croatia.
Methods: Data on the number of trainees and
results of speciality final exams were obtained from
the archive of the Department of Family Medicine,
Medical School, University of Zagreb. The number
of specialists in FM was obtained from the Croatian
Health Statistic Yearbook and the percentages of
FM specialists was calculated.
Results: During the nine-year period, 751 trainees
participated in ST, although participation of 1350
trainees was planned i.e. 55.6% of anticipated
number. Best results were achieved in the Program
C, 83.3% of the planned number of participants,
52.2% in the Program B and the smallest number
participated in the Program A, only 50.0% of the
planned number of trainees. 89.7% of trainees
passed the final speciality exam. The percentage
of specialty trained family doctors in Croatia is
increasing for almost 20%. This percentage is
higher in some Counties and smaller in the others.
Conclusion: The results clearly indicated that the
number of trainees, who finished ST in FM, was
below the planned number. There were many
reasons for that and they should be taken into
consideration in the preparations of similar projects
necessary for Croatia. Names of all trainees are
listed in the Annex.
