Since we are a relatively large clinic, there are always colleagues available for you to consult.
• Development opportunities: At Folktandvården, there are several career and development paths. You can engage in projects or participate in a working group. You can also further develop in leadership or perhaps you are interested in being a mentor when the clinic receives dental nurse students for internships? There are many opportunities for development!
