Our Operations

The Child and Adolescent Psychiatry section is aimed at children and adolescents up to 18 years of age. The section includes both outpatient and inpatient care. We are now looking for a PTP psychologist for BUP-start.

Your Mission

The purpose of practical training for psychologists (PTP) is for the psychologist to begin their development towards a professional identity by applying the knowledge gained from their psychology education. PTP provides practice and in-depth knowledge in the psychology profession and its various areas of responsibility and competence within an organization. By practicing knowledge in practical psychological work under supervision, conditions for professional work in an independent position are created. All PTP psychologists within the field of psychiatry are offered to participate in a PTP program. The program consists of seminar series and study visits in various areas and operations within and outside the field of psychiatry. Time and opportunity are provided for reflection within the PTP group and together with their supervisors.

PTP training at Uppsala University Hospital is conducted according to the National Board of Health and Welfare's guidelines. The training includes both individual-focused patient work and other psychological work such as preventive work, counseling, and development work. We are looking for a PTP psychologist for BUP-start.
