Specialist in General Medicine to Dorotea

Region Västerbotten works to ensure that good health and sustainable development strengthen each other. We take responsibility for equal welfare and for ensuring that research and innovation yield results.

The region's primary care provides broad primary care services throughout Västerbotten County, meeting patients of all ages, both in urban areas and in rural regions. With 33 health centers and rural clinics, we are where you are. We offer research and development and utilize medical results to provide high-quality care where the patient is involved. We want our employees to be involved, have influence, and feel proud to work in the region's primary care. Here you have the opportunity for a job where you can balance an interesting and developing professional life with a rich range of outdoor activities, summer as well as winter.

The rural clinics are part of the Primary Care Area Southern Lapland, which is a model area in the work towards transitioning to close-to-home care. With functioning collaboration and a focus on the citizen, we drive important change initiatives within the region and together with the municipalities. Remote clinical assessment and digital care meetings are developing rapidly and are a crucial part of securing good, close, and accessible care in this area. Therefore, it is no coincidence that we are at the forefront in this field. The rural clinic model, which is an important starting point for close-to-home care, influences both attitude and working methods in the daily operations of the business.

The rural clinics in Dorotea, Vilhelmina, and Åsele are part of the same basic unit and are located in Southern Lapland, five miles apart. The nearest hospital is in Lycksele, where the county's ambulance helicopter is stationed.

Our rural clinics function as well-equipped mini-hospitals with access to emergency care beds, X-ray, ambulance services, and a laboratory. Our use of telemedicine is well developed. Here you will find occupational therapists, midwives, physiotherapists/chiropractors, counselors, doctors, psychologists, secretaries, nurses, and assistant nurses. We provide emergency care as well as routine work at the health center and have a well-developed collaboration between all our professional groups and with the municipalities.

We collaborate with universities and host students. We also collaborate with the Center for Health in Rural Areas, an area that is high priority, and exciting development work is underway.

We are now looking for a Specialist in General Medicine for our rural clinic in Dorotea. Work across the entire basic unit may occur, but your main workplace will be the clinic in Dorotea.
