Introduction. Information about medical employment after the specialist's training period should be an essential requirement for planning of future teaching needs. In the same way, it would be convenient to consider the trainee's opinion about their training period in order to identify different areas to be improved. The aim of this study was to analyse the opinion of doctors trained in the University Hospital of San Juan de Alicante about their working conditions and teaching program. Subjects and methods. In the period between June/2013 and April/2014, an observational descriptive study through a questionnaire survey was performed, including two groups of questions that were answered by the specialists trained in the Health Department of Alicante-San Juan after 20 years (1993-2012). Sixteen medical specialities were analysed. Results. The questionnaire was answered by 71% of 272 trained specialists, 93% of hospital specialties (not including primary care). When the questionnaire was answered, any of the specialists was on unemployment. Seventy four percent had a stable job, and 75% were working in the province of Alicante. In 9 of the 16 specialties, more than 80% of the specialists were already working in the first month after finishing their training period. Almost 70% would choose the same specialty again. Ninety three percent expressed to feel solvent in their job as a specialist. Conclusions. Seven percent of the specialists remained in unemployment more than 6 months and, in nuclear and internal medicine, the number of unstable jobs exceeded the stable jobs. However, up to 2012, the working and educational situation of medical specialists trained in the University Hospital of San Juan de Alicante can be considered satisfactory, with full employment and a very good self-perception of solvency.
