Höglandssjukhuset Eksjö

Would you like to do your residency at one of Sweden's best residency locations? At a hospital where you have a lot of responsibility but also good support? Where you are part of the team and missed when you are not there? Where you can make a difference? Then you should apply for residency with us!

We continue our work 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 have a welcoming atmosphere to ensure safety and development in the role of a physician.

In Eksjö, there is one of Sweden's largest regional hospitals. Here, there is a good combination of highly specialized care and broad care, allowing doctors 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 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, UVA, etc. opened.

We offer you
