Más allá de la competencia: definiendo y promoviendo la excelencia en anestesiología Beyond competence: defining and promoting excellence in anaesthesia. Smith AF, Greaves JD. Department of Anaesthesia, Royal Lancaster Infirmary, Lancaster, UK.andrew.f.smith@mbht.nhs.uk Anaesthesia. 2010 Feb;65(2):184-91. Epub 2009 Dec 11. Abstract Recent trends in medical training have tended to focus on competence, in the sense of adequate performance, rather than excellence. This article reviews published literature and relevant concepts relating to excellence and professionalism from within anaesthesia, from medicine more generally and from outside the profession. A number of conceptual frameworks are presented that could be adapted for the promotion of excellence, and some of the necessary prerequisites for this promotion discussed. http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1365-2044.2009.06162.x/pdf   Mejorando la calidad en la educación médica: estado actual y futuras direcciones Quality improvement in medical education: current state and future directions Brian M Wong, Wendy Levinson, Kaveh G Shojania.
