Introduction to Psychiatry – an incredibly exciting and challenging specialty

Become part of a learning environment where wellbeing is top, and where there is a strong focus on good education.

Now is the time to act! The regions have opened up the possibility to increase the number of introductory positions in psychiatry, and we therefore have 2 additional positions to fill by agreement.

At the Psychiatric Center Ballerup, Herlev and Gentofte Hospital we put the psychiatric consultation at the forefront, and therefore we have a particular focus on upgrading the psychiatric training of younger doctors, both within the psychiatric interview and the holistic patient conversation.

We offer a position where you will get

• 5 days of joint introduction and training and then on-call shifts in e.g. duty and ECT function
• opportunity for weekly bedside supervision and plenty of joint teaching
• 3 shifts and a senior doctor in front, so you never face decisions alone
• opportunity to participate in a basic course in psychotherapy and an introductory course in psychiatry
• opportunity to participate in FYP and DPS annual meeting
• university environment with both undergraduate and postgraduate education
• opportunity for focus days during your I-program so you can get a sense of different aspects of psychiatry
• opportunity to start a therapeutic course with parallel supervision during the I-position
