Who are the top-rated professionals in each medical specialty in Spain? At ABC Salud we will discover, week by week, the most renowned doctors from each branch of medicine, chosen by their own professional colleagues, according to the Health Reputation Monitor (MRS) prepared by Merco, to which this newspaper has had first access.
In the first installment of this series, we met the 10 best Spanish cardiologists chosen by other heart specialists. Then came the top 10 best specialists in the Digestive System, according to the criteria of other gastroenterologists. Now it’s the turn of the most valued specialists in Dermatology.
The MRS has been evaluating the reputation of the main actors in Spanish healthcare for more than 10 years (best public and private hospitals, services, pharmaceutical companies…). On this occasion, it completes the report with the second edition of the ranking of the best doctors.
Within the same MRS questionnaire, it is the specialists themselves (6,060 doctors) and more than 100 managers of pharmaceutical companies, who choose the colleagues who, according to their criteria, are the best healthcare professionals in 32 medical specialties.
The monitoring and verification of its preparation process and results is the subject of an independent review by KPMG, according to the ISAE 3000 standard, which publishes its opinion for each edition. All weighting criteria are public. Due to its ethical values and methodology, it is the reference ranking for doctors and scientific societies.
