About the Workplace

Developing junior doctor position within rehabilitation medicine.

The Department of Rehabilitation Medicine in Östersund is part of Region Jämtland Härjedalen and is one of several operations within the HNR area – Heart, Neurology, and Rehabilitation. We provide medical rehabilitation, program-based pain rehabilitation, and host a rheumatology clinic. We offer both outpatient and inpatient care. The inpatient department has 16 fixed beds.

We have many well-functioning teams consisting of doctors, neuropsychologists, speech therapists, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, nurses, assistant nurses, social workers, and secretaries. Many employees at the clinic have extensive experience and high competence. Some of our diagnosis- and symptom-specific teams include the spinal cord injury team, where we have follow-up responsibility for the entire region; the tone team, where we assess and treat with botulinum toxin and exercise; and the prosthetic team, where we assess and perform rehabilitative training after prosthetic fitting. The clinic has a broad patient base within neurological rehabilitation and competent staff in all teams.

The medical group currently consists of 3 specialists, 3 residents (ST-doctors), and 1 junior doctor. The clinic's study director monitors and meets the educational needs of the residents, for example in relation to side placements outside their own region.

You will become part of an engaged medical group with a positive climate, who are proactive and responsible.

Our operations are located approximately 2.5 km from Östersund Hospital. The location near the forest and Östersund's winter sports stadium – with ski and running tracks – offers both patients and employees a nice outdoor environment with opportunities for exercise.
