Avesta Hospital is a small county hospital offering primary care for residents in southern Dalarna and northern Västmanland. The hospital has a merged clinic covering emergency care, medicine, geriatrics, and rehabilitation. This provides good conditions for fast and efficient care, from the emergency department to wards and further to rehabilitation in the patient's home. The hospital has approximately 40 care beds distributed across an acute care ward, an internal medicine ward, and a ward for acute geriatrics, stroke, and rehabilitation. The emergency department is open 24/7 and treats approximately 20,000 patients per year.

A large part of the operations is specialized outpatient care, where various clinics and investigations are offered, for example within cardiology (echocardiography, Holter, blood pressure monitoring, TEE, exercise tests), endocrinology, nephrology (including home dialysis), gastroenterology (gastroscopy and colonoscopy), sleep medicine (nocturnal breathing recordings and polysomnography), and dementia investigations. Additionally, general internal medicine and geriatric investigations and treatment are offered, including bone marrow sampling, pleural and ascitic taps, lumbar punctures, and more. The clinic also has extensive inpatient paramedical care, as well as day and home rehabilitation. In total, we have 200 employees in various professional categories. We place great emphasis on education, and our goal is to be Sweden's best junior doctor school, which has contributed to us often ranking high for medicine placements in the AT ranking.

As a specialist in internal medicine, you will be assigned a defined area of responsibility within the clinic's broad operations, thereby qualifying for a consultant physician position. Together with other consultants, you will have significant responsibility for both inpatient and outpatient specialist care. The duties include on-call backup duty 24/7, ward responsibility, as well as outpatient clinic operations and diagnostics. As part of the on-call backup, you will have support from a specialist trainee (ST-läkare) as a round doctor during weekends. You will also serve as a supervisor for AT/BT- and/or ST-doctors, thereby contributing to the good educational climate.

The position is full-time, but part-time opportunities may also exist.

Requirements:

• Swedish medical license and specialist competence in internal medicine and/or a closely related relevant specialty
• Swedish language skills equivalent to at least level C1
