Höglandssjukhuset Eksjö

Do you want to complete your residency at one of Sweden's best residency locations? At a hospital where you have a lot of responsibility but also receive great support? Where you are part of the team and missed if you are not there? Where you can make a difference? Then you should apply for residency with us!

We are now looking for a resident physician starting June 1, 2026.

We continue our efforts to be Sweden's best residency location in the coming years, and we want you to be a part of it. We constantly strive to maintain high quality in education and create a welcoming atmosphere to ensure safety and development in the medical role.

In Eksjö, there is one of Sweden's largest regional hospitals. Here, there is a good combination of both highly specialized care and broad care, allowing you as a physician to see a lot and thus gain a solid foundation of experience.

Our hospital is in a development phase where we are building and investing for the future. The hospital is just the right size, not so big that you don't recognize most of your colleagues, and they recognize you! In recent years, large parts of the hospital have been renovated, and in the autumn of 2025, a completely new emergency department, urgent care, and UVA will open.

We offer you
We now offer one (1) residency block starting June 1. The residency blocks cover 21 months. Your residency will begin with introductory days. You have four elective weeks during your residency to explore different activities in the region. You can choose two of those weeks for an observership in Sabadell, Spain.

• 2-5 days of external courses
• 8 days of regional joint training
• 1 week of general introduction
• At least 2 hours of clinic-based teaching per week
• Personal supervisor
• Paid leave, conference fees, travel, and accommodation for the residency conference

As an employee of Region Jönköpings län, there are also several benefits to take advantage of. In addition to a private gym, a large restaurant, and free open healthcare, there are numerous staff activities such as trips, excursions, and similar joint activities. Please read more about the benefits here: Benefits (http://www.rjl.se/jobb-och-karriar/Jobba-hos-oss/Formaner/)

You who are applying must have a medical degree by the planned start of the residency block. Foreign applicants must have permission from the National Board of Health and Welfare to complete residency in Sweden and documented language skills corresponding to at least C1 level in Swedish according to the Council of Europe's scale.

Our goal is to have a competent group with diverse characteristics, which we believe benefits both the resident physicians and our hospital. Our selection criteria are a combination of merits, interviews, and references. Great importance is placed on personal suitability.

Your application should include:

• Cover letter
• CV
• Transcript from LADOK/medical degree certificate
• At least 2 clinical references
