Your Future Workplace

The Medicine and Geriatrics Clinic at Höglandssjukhuset in Eksjö is a developing operation where we care for patients in need of specialized medical and geriatric care.

The clinic provides specialized care within all internal medicine sub-specialties. The primary catchment area of the medical clinic covers approximately 110,000 inhabitants, but for region-wide activities, we are responsible for the entire Region of Jönköping.

Your Profile

To be considered for the position, you must have a Swedish medical license with specialist competence in internal medicine and/or nephrology, or alternatively, be at the end of your resident training (ST) in nephrology.
