Introductory position in Emergency Medicine

Would you like an introductory position that really moves your professional development forward – and at the same time gives you a strong collegial community where you never face the difficult patient alone? And are you ready to be at the heart of the acute flow, where internal medicine, surgical and psychiatric issues meet? Then the introductory position in Emergency Medicine at Regional Hospital in Hjørring is a very good step for your next move.

We offer an acute environment where patients and citizens should experience being in safe, competent hands – whether they present with somatic symptoms, mental disorders, substance abuse or something else entirely. You will have the opportunity to work closely with experienced specialists, dedicated nurses and other professional groups, and you will be part of a team that is proud of their professionalism and even stronger when they solve tasks together.

The Job As an intern doctor in Emergency Medicine you will be a key player in the assessment and treatment of acute patients, where the unclear and complex often dominates. You will work in a hospital environment with a focus on patient safety, quality and multidisciplinary collaboration and will help ensure that patients receive a coherent and well-planned course. The daily routine typically begins with morning teaching and reassessment of admitted patients, and from there the work in the emergency department begins in earnest.

• You participate in reception, assessment and initial treatment of acute patients in close cooperation with specialists

You start as a “forvagt plus”, and gradually become introduced to tasks such as supervising younger colleagues, managing patient flow and treating the most ill patients. The goal is for you to gain the confidence to meet both “red” and “orange” patients – while also becoming comfortable in the role of the person who supports others.

• You participate in daily morning teaching every weekday with a focus on acute problems and clinical cases
• You work side by side with specialists who are present in the department and who are used to teaching and supervising
• You gain experience in prioritizing, consulting and referring patients to the most appropriate pathway, admission or outpatient treatment
• You develop competencies to be a supervisor in the emergency department and coordinate collaboration with other departments
• You gain professional ballast to make a qualified choice of specialty and a strong platform for future specialty-specific positions
• You help distribute tasks according to competencies and learning goals, so that both you and your colleagues develop professionally

Your Profile We are looking for a doctor who wants to learn emergency medicine in depth and to be part of a work community where professionalism, integrity and good collegiality are central.

The ITOP values influence, trust, integrity and professionalism matter to you in how you work.

• You have a medical education with the right to autonomous practice
