ST Physician in Rheumatology

The Rheumatology section at Skåne University Hospital (Sus) is responsible for both broad rheumatological healthcare and regional care for patients with inflammatory rheumatic diseases, as well as national highly specialized care for patients with systemic sclerosis. The regional care handles complicated patients from the southern healthcare region. The section is also responsible for pediatric rheumatology, where doctors are employed at the rheumatology unit, but care is provided at the Children and Adolescent Hospital (Bus) in Lund. We have a care ward in Lund, a day care for complicated investigations, rheumatological outpatient clinics in Lund and Malmö including infusion sites and rheumatological day care rehabilitation.

The extensive research spans from connective tissue biology through immunology and epidemiology to therapy studies and rehabilitation. Close collaborative forms with several specialties are established, and internally we work in teams. The rapid development in rheumatology in recent years and anticipated retirements have led to a significant need for rheumatologists. Knowledge about underlying causes has increased, leading to the development of new medications and treatment programs with early diagnosis and early treatment initiation for rheumatic diseases. We now need to hire ST physicians in rheumatology.
