Introduction. This paper relates the experience of a pilot external audit visit conducted at the University Hospital Príncipe de Asturias in Alcalá de Henares and its benefits, following the UEMS (Union Européenne des Médecins Spécialistes) model. In Spain, systems of evaluation and quality of the specialists training are well established. Some aspects can be still improved. The UEMS model of audit, recognises the diversity of programs in member countries, but is trying to standardize the quality of training through external audits. Aim. To show a model that mainly focuses on the training of residents with a greater participation of them and professional and scientific societies. Materials and methods. To exhibit the experience of an external audit visit in a Psychiatry unit following the UEMS model. Results. Multiple benefits derive from this kind of audits in the revision and improvement of the residents' training. Conclusion. This kind of audits provides an assessment of the resident's training system and encourages movement towards European Union standards of quality, ensuring that all trainees get the highest standard of training which can be provided.
