Job Description

We are looking for a specialist physician in general medicine for our medical clinic. The position includes standard outpatient work within the primary care assignment such as medical consultations, child health care, and consultations with home care and special accommodations. To some extent, the scope and distribution of these assignments can be tailored to your individual interests. You will be part of the emergency service, both common primary care emergency at the emergency center and backup call line. Part of your working hours will be spent mentoring less experienced colleagues such as interns/residents and medical students. This will take place during designated time in the schedule.

If you, as a physician, see an opportunity in viewing digitalization and new technology as a possibility, we want to create space to adopt new methods and working practices. We aim to promote innovative primary care and close care while also providing opportunities to meet our patients in alternative ways, such as through video visits and monitoring of certain chronic diseases.
