Specialist in General Medicine at the Trauma Clinic for Sexual Health

Make a difference. Every day.

Do you want to work in an stimulating environment where general medicine meets sexual health? Are you interested in working with issues regarding sexual violence and its health effects? Do you want to be part of an engaged team working with patient-centered care? Then this is the job for you!

In January 2024, the Trauma Clinic for Sexual Health opened in Malmö, a nationally unique facility located at Skåne University Hospital. Our mission is to provide medical and psychological care on a regional level to individuals who have experienced sexual abuse, as well as to function as a knowledge center. Our team consists of general practitioners, midwives, psychologists, counselors, and medical secretaries. We continuously work to develop our operations and to inform healthcare colleagues as well as citizens within Region Skåne about our work. Here, you are offered continuous supervision, further education, and the opportunity to develop care for victims of sexual violence.

The Trauma Clinic offers patient-centered care with high accessibility, based on the best research evidence. The clinic's operations are team-based and structured into two care pathways:

• Early Intervention Care Pathway: For individuals aged 18 and over who have experienced sexual abuse and seek care within the first two months after the incident.
• PTSD Care Pathway: For individuals aged 16 and over who have developed post-traumatic stress disorder after sexual abuse, regardless of how much time has passed since the event.

In addition to functioning as a clinical clinic, the Trauma Clinic has a knowledge center mandate within the area of sexual violence and ill-health, with the aim of collecting and disseminating knowledge and coordinating nearby actors.
