Resumen

This article analyzes the role of Scientific Medical Societies (SMS) in continuing education in Cytopathology, emphasizing their impact on professional development, diagnostic quality, and patient safety. In recent years, Cytopathology has undergone significant growth driven by technological and molecular advances, which have expanded its scope and complexity. In this context, SMS play a crucial role by offering training activities such as congresses, courses, workshops, and publications, acting as a bridge between scientific evidence and clinical practice. The article also addresses current challenges related to equitable access, pedagogical innovation, and the integration of new technologies, as well as potential strategies for strengthening continuing education and international cooperation.
