Fundación de Atención Primaria

What Fundación de Atención Primaria does

Fundación de Atención Primaria (FAP) is a Barcelona-based non-profit foundation founded in 1994 that provides accredited continuing medical education to primary care health professionals in Spain. Its primary customer segments include primary care physicians, nurses, pediatricians, physiotherapists, dentists, and sanitary administrative staff, all targeted through a vertical segmentation strategy focused on the Atención Primaria de Salud workforce.

FAP's core offering is Campus FAP, a proprietary web-based learning management system delivering asynchronous video-based accredited courses with online assessments, accessible globally via browser and mobile devices. The product portfolio has expanded into a multi-brand ecosystem: Micropíldoras (a mobile microlearning app), IFAC (a 10-module citizen attention training program co-developed with SEAUS), and MiAP (a master's program in primary care innovation). Course content spans oncology, chronic pain, cardiovascular and respiratory disease, post-COVID care, and emerging topics such as generative AI literacy in medicine. Courses carry dual accreditation from the Catalan Council for Continuing Health Professions Education and the Spanish National Health System's Continuing Education Commission.

The business model combines one-time course fees (e.g., €100 per paid course, with many courses free under institutional sponsorship such as the Ministry of Health) with a tiered annual membership subscription offering preferential pricing and member-only resources. Distribution occurs through the self-serve Campus FAP platform, the FAP website content hub and blog, email outreach to registered users, and referral partnerships with professional societies (CAMFiC, SEAUS) and public health institutions (Institut Català de la Salut, Hospital Clínic de Barcelona).

This partnership is central to FAP's mission to professionalize citizen-facing healthcare roles.
