Our Offer

The Primary Care Center Östergötland consists of 33 region-run health centers, Health Center Finspång, Child Health Care Unit, 1177 and emergency centers in the evenings and weekends, and the General Medicine Training Center. We conduct a broad primary care operation where we offer care to everyone throughout their lives; newborns, children, adolescents, adults, the elderly, and patients at the end of life.

We are a forward-looking organization with a strong focus on a good work environment, development, and good health. We actively work to create conditions for sustainable working life while having a development-inspired approach to meet the future challenges in primary care. With us, there are good development opportunities for those who want to advance in their profession, become a manager, or pursue other paths, such as specialization or research.

The ST training in general medicine in Region Östergötland is organized by the General Medicine Training Center (AMC), where study directors and educational secretaries coordinate side training, arrange courses and training, and participate in the development of the resident doctor's training plan.
