SMA Sindicato Médico Andaluz

What SMA Sindicato Médico Andaluz does

Sindicato Médico Andaluz (SMA) is a federated trade union representing medical professionals (facultativos) working in the public healthcare system of Andalusia, Spain. The organization is structured as an umbrella for eight provincial medical unions covering Almería, Cádiz, Córdoba, Granada, Huelva, Jaén, Málaga, and Sevilla, and is affiliated with the national CESM confederation. Its primary functions are collective bargaining with the Servicio Andaluz de Salud and the Junta de Andalucía, legal defense and labor representation for physicians, advocacy for a profession-specific statute, and mobilization in national strike actions.

SMA's service offering is delivered through a mix of physical and digital channels. The central digital surface is the smandaluz.com website, which hosts news, normative documents, sentencias, BOJA/BOE bulletins, OPE materials, and Bolsa de Empleo listings. Member-only access is extended via an iOS/Android mobile application (launched 2017) providing notifications, directories, events, documents, surveys, and job offers, and via the SMA Campus Formación e-learning platform (formacion.smandaluz.com), which delivers accredited continuing medical education with CFC credits and is gated to affiliated members. The federation also brokers exclusive OPE preparation partnerships with MIR Asturias Academy and VILLACAMPA, offering 25-50% member discounts on accredited courses, and a UOC university partnership providing a 10% discount on postgraduate programs.

The business model is membership-dues-based subscription recurring revenue, supplemented by negotiated training discounts and partner-referral economics. SMA targets eight physician segments — Atención Hospitalaria, Atención Primaria, Emergency Services (061), Agencias Públicas, Cuerpo A4, Técnicos de Salud, EIR residents, and Otros Facultativos — all employed within the Andalusian public health system. The organization is member-owned with no external investors or parent company; it reports only 5 central staff and operates with provincial union infrastructure distributing services regionally.

• Metges de Catalunya: Regional medical trade union representing physicians in Catalonia's public healthcare system. Closest peer to SMA — same professional segment, same union model, same collective bargaining function with a regional health authority.
• CCOO Sanitat: Healthcare branch of Comisiones Obreras, one of Spain's largest generalist unions, representing healthcare workers including physicians. Competes with SMA for physician affiliation in Andalusia's public system.
• UGT FeSP - Servicios Públicos: Public services branch of Unión General de Trabajadores, covering healthcare professionals in Spain. Competes with SMA for medical professional affiliation and representation in collective bargaining at the regional level.

Regional players
