We run our unit in close interdisciplinary collaboration with dedicated specialist physicians. We are a stable and well-functioning clinic with low staff turnover across all professional categories. You will work in a clinic with a positive and supportive work environment, with clear and established routines. Here, you will be part of a highly competent team that prioritizes the best interests of the patient. In addition to senior physicians, the Kristinehamn clinic employs specialist nurses, registered nurses, training physicians, social workers, administrative staff, psychologists, and occupational therapists.
Your responsibilities
We are seeking a temporary junior physician with an interest in psychiatry to support our clinic during the summer of 2026.

You will receive a thorough introduction and ongoing supervision from our specialists. Your responsibilities will include conducting tailored visits that are coordinated with your supervisor for each appointment, as well as participating in the clinic's treatment conferences. We are a fully staffed clinic across all professional categories and value our interdisciplinary approach, which you as a junior physician will also be an integral part of. Our operations are dynamic and centered around the needs of the patient.
