Job Description
At the Gastroenterology Clinic, you will work as a specialist physician in both outpatient and inpatient care. Work in the sections is interdisciplinary and team-based, with established networks to other specialties and regular multidisciplinary conferences. As a specialist physician, continuous professional development and subspecialization occur, with work typically focusing primarily on one of the sections over time.
In our outpatient clinic, the Pelvic Function Unit, where patients with functional gastrointestinal disorders are assessed, coexists with the liver clinic and IBD clinic.
The medical and surgical IBD activities are co-located at our IBD clinic and inpatient unit, facilitating joint assessments and follow-ups of our patients at various stages of their illness.
The endoscopy unit belongs to the MT Clinic and primarily employs medical gastroenterologists. We currently staff five endoscopy rooms. In the autumn of 2026, we will move to entirely new facilities with a total of eight endoscopy rooms, seven of which will belong to our clinic.
Region Östergötland currently has two NHV assignments in which the MT Clinic is involved. These include reconstructive IBD surgery starting in spring 2026 and, for several years, care for women with anorectal childbirth injuries.
On-call duty is included as part of your role as a specialist physician. The clinic is responsible for a gastroenterology on-call line 24/7, which includes rounding on our inpatient department during weekends.
Research is highly prioritized at the clinic, and we conduct research in all our profile areas at a high level. There is an opportunity to pursue doctoral education with supervision at the clinic or to continue researching as an already graduated doctor. Training medical students is a natural and important part of your work as a specialist physician.
Our approach is that as a physician at the clinic, you should be able to complete your tasks during working hours, which is why we work with clear work schedules that also include administrative time. We believe it is important to feel job satisfaction and to end the workday feeling that you have done a good job.
About You
You have a Swedish medical license (attached to the application) and good knowledge of the Swedish language in both spoken and written form (Swedish C1). You are either already a specialist in medical gastroenterology and hepatology or wish to further specialize in that field.
You have good collaboration skills and effective communication abilities, which are fundamental and important qualities. In the role of specialist physician, you will work independently, so we are looking for someone who is driven to plan, organize, and prioritize their work. You demonstrate good judgment towards both patients, relatives, and your colleagues and have a strong ability to make sound decisions. We seek someone who is curious and engaged with a strong desire to develop as a physician.
