[Bioethics in genetic engineering].

The advances in the field of molecular biology and genetics have widened the possibilities for the diagnosis and treatment of hereditary diseases. At the same time research into this field has broken bounds of its legal and ethical regulation. The intention of this paper is not to analyze these advances from scientific and technical point of view which is the area of the specialist, but rather to review historical antecedents of genetic engineering; the legal and ethical repercussions of the human genome project (HGP); in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (FIVET); the embryo research which is being caused out and which may be possible; other fields of genetics and cloning especially germinal cells and human beings; genetic diagnosis and its family, social and work repercussions; treatment through genetic engineering, research into cloning in order to obtain organs and tissues for transplants; and the use of genetic engineering in the biomedical industry. To avoid these advances working against humans, the organization and participation of multidisciplinary bodies are required to provide legal and ethical supervision.

[What is continuous medical education?].

The physician never stops his/her education. Continuous medical education has many tools: self-learning; electronic information, and correspondence and resident courses. Continuously education usually has been oriented toward specialist physicians, but of late has been directed toward generalphysicians, who provide primary care to 85% of the general population. The National Program of Actualization for General Physicians (PRONADAMEG) of the National of Academy of Medicine is offered at 76 headquarters to more than 10,000 students, initially with 400 hours over four semesters, sufficient for certification; at present, 200 hours over four quarters, it affords sufficient points to obtain general physician recertification. Student age is not a limitation, for physicians enrolled in PRONADAMEG as well as physicians who recently graduated. From medical school we have added at the end of every medical specialty a round table with active participation of students anda clinical for graduate medical can attend.
