From the beginning the Foundation has paid special attention and given a great deal of relevance to the aspect of organized training by promoting training programmes in a number of different areas. The programmes differentiate themselves due to their excellence in content, the innovation of the focus and the dynamism in the detection
and ways of facing new training needs.
These activities are developed in two main training pillars:
 Programmes and courses for health professionals
Programmes of health education for the general public that are directed and given to different social groups.
TRAINING PROGRAMMES FOR PROFESSIONALS.
These courses are carried out in collaboration with health administrations, professional organizations and scientific societies.
Their objective is to cover specific training needs and contribute to the on-going training of health professionals.
In this sense the collaboration agreement signed between the Foundation and the Lain Entralgo Agency should be highlighted. This agreement is aimed at the training, investigation and health studies in the Madrid community in relation to the organization and carrying out of training activities for health professionals.
