Vårdcentralen Ryd is looking for a specialist in general medicine

At Vårdcentralen Ryd, we are looking for a new colleague and welcome you to apply to our workplace.

Our Offer

The Primary Care Center of Östergötland consists of 33 region-run health centers, Vårdcentrum Finspång, the Child Health Care Unit, 1177 and emergency centers in the evening and on weekends, and the General Medicine Training Center. We conduct a broad primary care operation where we offer care to everyone throughout life; 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 working environment, development, and good health. We actively work to create conditions for a 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 move forward in other ways, such as through specialization or research.

Vårdcentralen Ryd is part of Region Östergötland's Primary Care Center along with 33 other region-run health centers. The health center is located on the outskirts of Linköping, close to beautiful recreational areas. The district consists of a mix of villas and apartments. Proximity to Linköping University has made Ryd an attractive place to live for students, resulting in a relatively young population in the area. The health center currently has about 10,100 registered patients. We have a development-inspired approach and conduct a broad primary care operation where we meet patients of all ages with many different symptoms. At the health center, there are medical consultations, specialist nurse consultations, nursing consultations, child health care, psychosocial competence, foot care, and a laboratory. We are also responsible for several nursing homes. We are about 30 employees who enjoy working together in an open work climate. Our goal is for the health center to be an attractive workplace by promoting a work environment that provides a balance between work and private life. Ryd is a well-functioning health center where employees thrive. The health center is characterized by a good collaborative climate where we help and support each other, and we have an open atmosphere where we have coffee and lunch together. The health center is actively engaged in various improvement efforts that promote patient satisfaction and a good working environment. The finances are balanced.

Job Description

We are looking for a specialist in general medicine for our medical clinic, which currently consists of 5 specialist doctors, 4 resident doctors, and 2 doctors in training. 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 housing. To some extent, the scope and distribution of these assignments can be shaped based on your individual interests. You will be part of the on-call service, both in a joint primary care on-call at the emergency center and a backup on-call line. Part of your working time will be spent mentoring less experienced colleagues such as resident doctors and medical students. This will take place during specifically allocated time in the schedule.

If you, as a doctor, see an opportunity in digitalization and new technology, 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.
