What SEMG - Sociedad Española de Médicos Generales y de Familia does

SEMG - Sociedad Española de Médicos Generales y de Familia is the leading national professional society for general and family medicine physicians in Spain. Founded circa 1992 and headquartered in Madrid (Paseo Imperial, 10-12, 1ª planta), the society operates with 43 employees and a federated structure comprising 16 autonomous regional societies covering every Spanish autonomous community. Its core constituency is licensed general practitioners and family doctors, supplemented by medical residents (MIR) within the RYJE group and collaborating hospital specialists. SEMG delivers continuing medical education, clinical research support (via FIFSEMG and the MAI methodology programme), professional development, and public health advocacy across all primary care clinical domains.

The society's product portfolio centres on the official scientific journal Revista Medicina General y de Familia (MGyF), a dedicated e-learning training portal (formacion.semg.es), the annual national congress now in its 31st edition, the DPSEMG professional development platform, a mobile application, podcasts (SEMGONAIR), and an extensive working group structure spanning cardiovascular, respiratory, dermatology, endocrinology, neurology, mental health, rural medicine, digital health, and sustainability. Underlying technology includes a custom-built digital platform ecosystem covering congress registration and abstract management (e.g., vlc.semg.es, oviedo.semg.es), member portals, newsletter systems (InfoSEMG), and AI-driven clinical research (DETECT-SHD project for detecting left-sided valvular heart disease in primary care patients over 65). Marketing and distribution are channel-led through the semg.es website, social media (Twitter/X, Facebook, YouTube), the InfoSEMG newsletter, the flagship national congress, regional congresses, the e-learning portal, podcasts, and a citizen-facing public health column (Tu Médico Responde).

SEMG is a private non-profit professional association financed primarily through annual membership subscriptions (Hazte Socio programme), congress and training event registration fees, and revenue from publications and clinical documents. It operates a community-led GTM with no disclosed enterprise customers, no external funding rounds, and a partnership network spanning the Sociedad Española de Cardiología (SEC), Sociedad Española de Diabetes (SED), Asociación Española para el Estudio del Hígado (AEEH), Asociación Española de Urología (AEU), Comité Nacional para la Prevención del Tabaquismo (CNPT), ASENDHI, FACME, and Hospital Universitario Lucus Augusti. The society also maintains a humanitarian arm (SEMG Solidaria) and a Spanish-language scientific/health economics publication (EuroEco).

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• AAFP - American Academy of Family Physicians: The largest national professional society for family physicians in the United States. Comparable to SEMG in mission (CME, advocacy, journal, congress, member services for family doctors) but operates at a much larger scale and serves a different geography.
• RCGP - Royal College of General Practitioners: The UK's professional body for general practitioners, with formal specialty recognition. Comparable to SEMG in serving GPs/Family doctors through CME, assessment, advocacy, and journal, but operates with stronger regulatory and training mandate in the UK.
• Organización Médica Colegial (OMC) - Consejo General de Colegios Oficiales de Médicos: The General Medical Council of Spain, the official collegiate body representing all licensed physicians. OMC is a broader incumbent with regulatory and advocacy duties spanning every medical specialty, overlapping with SEMG in primary care representation but operating at a national institutional level.

Others

• FACME - Federación de Asociaciones Científico-Médicas de España: Umbrella federation of Spanish medical scientific associations, of which SEMG is a member. Comparable as a coordinating body for Spanish medical societies and a partner platform through which SEMG distributes its CME offerings.
• SEC - Sociedad Española de Cardiología: Spain's national cardiology society and a formal collaboration partner of SEMG (CYMAP meetings). Comparable as a national Spanish medical society with congress, journal, working groups, and CME portfolio, but focused on a hospital specialty rather than primary care.
• WONCA - World Organization of National Colleges, Academies and Academic Associations of General Practitioners/Family Physicians: The global federation of national family medicine organisations. SEMG is implicitly part of the WONCA ecosystem and serves a comparable function for Spain that WONCA member organisations serve in their respective countries.
• SED - Sociedad Española de Diabetes: Spain's national diabetes society and a SEMG collaboration partner. Similar membership-society structure with annual congress, CME, and clinical working groups, but focused on a single disease area rather than generalist primary care.

Direct peers

• semFYC - Sociedad Española de Medicina de Familia y Comunitaria: Spain's other leading national professional society for family and community medicine physicians. semFYC and SEMG compete directly for the same membership base of Spanish GPs and family doctors, both run national congresses and CME programmes, and both serve as the primary professional voice for primary care in Spain.
