Specialist Physician in Oncology

We are looking for a specialist physician in oncology who wants to join us in creating a clinic for oncology and palliative care in the Region of Jämtland Härjedalen!

The oncology clinic at the county hospital in Östersund currently provides cancer treatment for the residents of Jämtland and Härjedalen. Almost all treatments can be provided on-site, but for radiation therapy, we collaborate with Norrland University Hospital in Umeå and Sundsvall Hospital.

We have a highly skilled staff at the clinic, including nursing assistants and registered nurses, as well as both specialist physicians and physicians in training. Additionally, oncology consultants from Umeå visit us weekly. Our journey to becoming a clinic for oncology and palliative care is just beginning, and we need more members in our team!

The oncology clinic has a well-functioning system with contact nurses. We work closely with the palliative unit for patients receiving palliative oncology treatment. The clinic also has a cancer rehabilitation team.

The surgical department has the status of a university hospital unit, and teaching, supervision, and training of medical students from Umeå University are part of the position.

As a specialist physician with us, you will have the opportunity to influence your own role. There is also the possibility to conduct research.

Östersund Hospital is the only hospital in our region and encompasses most medical specialties. Region Jämtland Härjedalen is one of the largest employers in the county with approximately 4,200 employees. Together, we work to develop the region's healthcare. Here, you will have the opportunity to make a difference for both residents and tourists in a region that offers activities and relaxation close to nature and mountains. If you are considering relocating here, we can assist you with housing.

RESPONSIBILITIES

The work at the oncology clinic involves outpatient work with standard tasks as well as medical support to other staff at the oncology clinic. Patients are assessed at the clinic, primarily those belonging to the surgical department. The most common diagnoses are breast cancer, gastrointestinal cancer, malignant melanoma, prostate cancer, and urinary tract cancer.

Inpatient care for oncology patients takes place in the clinic's surgical wards.

You will collaborate with colleagues in the surgical department and the palliative unit and participate in multidisciplinary conferences. You will also be actively involved in teaching medical students.

Radiation therapy units are located in Umeå and Sundsvall. We have a developed collaboration with the Cancer Center in Umeå and the Oncology Clinic in Sundsvall regarding both radiation therapy and medical oncology treatment.
