Abstract	Goals: Since 2007 Spanish legislation mandates primary care physicians to report suspected occupational diseases for the purpose of occupational disease surveillance by the Social Security system. This paper presents the sensibility, attitudes and knowledge needs they express about the occupational origin of these conditions. Methods: We analyzed texts and commentaries generated by students and teachers who joined two different editions of an online course, “Occupational Diseases for Primary Care Physicians”, developed on electronic campus of the National School of Occupational Health (Institute of Health Carlos III) promoted and funded by the Ministry of Health, among others. Results: Participants expressed concerns regarding to: i) their lack of specific knowledge, ii) the absence of items in electronic medical records that could facilitate the detection of possible work-related pathologies; and iii) limited communication among the various stakeholders. Conclusions: Primary care physicians expressed interest in learning more about how to establish the work-relatedness of disease, and offer suggestions aimed at improving their fund of knowledge, facilitating their access to expert consultation, highlighting the occupational exposure component of the medical history in primary care, and improving communication among all stakeholders.
