Most demanded medical specialties in Spain

Of all the existing medical specialties, in this section we will see 4 of the medical specialties with the most demand in Spain: Cardiology, Plastic Surgery, Dermatology and Anesthesiology.

Cardiology

In addition, in recent years there have been numerous advances that have affected the way of treating heart disease or the inconveniences that this produces.

Conditions cardiologists treat include heart conditions such as high blood pressure, coronary heart disease (angina and coronary heart disease), heart failure, cardiac arrhythmias, and valvular disease. They are also trained to perform procedures such as coronary angioplasty and bypass, and the implantation of pacemakers and defibrillators.

It is one of the first specialties to sell out. This branch has a minimum unemployment rate and those who exercise it enjoy good working and economic conditions. It is a one hundred percent surgical practice in which the entire body is operated on.

The procedures that are carried out in plastic surgery can be reconstructive, such as the repair of burns, wounds, scars or congenital malformations, or aesthetic, such as breast surgery, facelift, liposuction, buttock augmentation, among others. . Plastic surgeons can also perform rejuvenation and anti-aging procedures, including non-surgical treatments such as dermal fillers and botulinum toxin.

It is a specialty whose places are covered almost immediately. Dermatology is in charge of investigating problems, discomforts or skin diseases, as well as aesthetic treatments and other alterations of the same. Its demand has motivated the appearance of numerous dermatological clinics.

Anesthesiologists also monitor the physiological state of the patient during anesthesia and perform interventions to maintain the patient’s stability during the surgery or procedure.

Anesthesiology is also responsible for the care of chronic pain, either through the administration of medications or through nerve block techniques. Anesthesiologists also collaborate with other specialists in the care of patients with chronic and painful conditions.
