Vacant job

Do you want to try out and develop your skills in hand surgery in an environment characterized by high competence, collaboration, and patient focus? Then this might be the job for you!

Our Offer

The Hand and Plastic Surgery Clinic with the Burn Center is a university clinic offering highly specialized care in hand surgery, plastic surgery, and burn care. Here, high-quality care is combined with intensive research and development in a modern and innovative environment. Our patients come from the entire southeastern healthcare region, and we offer both emergency and elective care. Since the orthopedic clinic at the hospital does not perform orthopedic hand surgery, this is also performed at our clinic.

The Hand Surgery Section is now looking for an engaged, flexible, and driven resident physician for a temporary position of approximately 5 months with a start in May 2026.

Please read about our career ladder for physicians and about your benefits with us.

We place great importance on creating a safe and inclusive environment where you, as a resident physician, receive the support you need to develop in your role.

Work Group

Approximately twelve physicians work within the hand surgery activity at our clinic. We are a tightly knit team with an open working climate where questions and learning are central. We work closely with our operating and outpatient team consisting of nurses, assistant nurses, physiotherapists, and occupational therapists. Together, we create a safe and developing work environment for both patients and employees.
