Since the medical program is conducted in Malmö, Lund, and Helsingborg and has clinical placements in other locations in the Southern healthcare region, the holder should be prepared for tasks to occur in more than one location.

In addition to the educational assignments, the position includes initiating, coordinating, and developing research in neurology and participating in doctoral education.
