About the department

Department of Musculoskeletal and Connective Tissue Diseases is responsible for the diagnosing, monitoring and treatment of patients with arthritis, connective tissue diseases and vasculitis as well as disc and spine diseases. In our daily clinic we use among others ultrasound diagnostics, joint injections, muscle and skin biopsies as well as joint scoring and manual spine examination procedures are highly valued.

Rheumatology is a broad specialty, thus the Department of Musculoskeletal and Connective Tissue Diseases, Aalborg, has many outpatient tracks e.g. arthritis outpatient clinic, biologic outpatient clinic, vasculitis and connective tissue outpatient clinic, arthritis urica outpatient clinic, disc outpatient clinic, sports medicine shoulder outpatient clinic, as well as a large day ward and a bed unit in the Hospital Town.

There are good opportunities to participate in research projects.

The department emphasizes good and coherent patient pathways, interdisciplinary collaboration, research and development. In addition, a good collegial environment is highly prioritized. We work purposefully to provide education for young doctors of the highest quality and have thus received several educational prizes – most recently the Health Authority's prize for the best rheumatology educational department in April 2022 and top score at the latest Inspector visit in 2025.

The work organization in the department supports the education of younger doctors with parallel outpatient clinics in smaller teams, master-apprentice situations and good conference opportunities. We expect you to actively participate in the well-functioning work community we have in the department, where everyone contributes to development, teaching and education.

When employed at the Department of Musculoskeletal and Connective Tissue Diseases you will participate in daytime work in the Rheumatology inpatient ward, day ward and outpatient clinic. In the introductory position you will deal with all facets of rheumatology in both outpatient and inpatient patients, and during the appointment you will acquire basic skills in rheumatology and broad basic knowledge within the entire internal medicine area. There is participation in on-call work in the medical area.

Both ward rounds and on-call duties are in the Hospital Town. The outpatient functions will take place on the South Campus. In the second half of the position there will be an opportunity for external duties in Thisted together with a specialist on some days per month.

The position can be applied for by younger doctors with approved basic education.
