Vacant job

Since 2021, the Ostrobothnia welfare area in Finland and Region Västerbotten in Sweden have collaborated on the recruitment of general practice doctors (AT doctors). After a two-week introductory training, clinical placements begin at Vasa Central Hospital and health care centers in Vasa or surrounding municipalities. Some parts of the introduction are conducted digitally together with AT doctors in Umeå, while other practical components are done in Vasa. The AT period includes mandatory theoretical and practical training components carried out in collaboration with the AT organization in Umeå. Some parts of the training components are conducted digitally, while others require physical presence in Vasa.
