Would you like to learn more about eating disorders and about child and adolescent psychiatry in general, and engage in daily contact with patients and their parents in a well-functioning outpatient clinic, with high professionalism and good collegiality ?

We are seeking a physician for a 1-year unclassified position in our outpatient clinic for children and adolescents with eating disorders at the Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Center (BUC)

Special Outpatient Clinic for Eating Disorders B132

We provide treatment for children and adolescents with eating disorders aged 4-17 years residing in the Capital Region and on Bornholm. The outpatient clinic has a highly specialized function for children and adolescents with eating disorders. There is close collaboration between the outpatient clinic and day wards and inpatient wards for children and adolescents with eating disorders - colloquially called “Spisesøjlen”.

In all units the family is directly and actively involved in the treatment. There is a focus on developing and expanding medical cooperation across Spisesøjlen so that coherence is created in the patient pathways.

You will be attached to the outpatient clinic and report to the department head of the outpatient clinic. Depending on your previous experience and competencies you will receive thorough training.

In the outpatient clinic the daily work will predominantly consist of family therapy using the Family-Based Therapy (FBT) method, which is offered to all families starting in the outpatient clinic.

You will be trained in FBT, through on-the-job training. In addition you will be expected to perform somatic examinations and medication consultations.

The outpatient clinic has a strong focus on supervision both to improve our skills and to support each other in working with the families. Additionally, we have our own course activities where we regularly hold workshops with Danish and international experts in the field of eating disorders.

For somatic problems there is a well-established collaboration with the Social Paediatric Department at Herlev Hospital. There are also quarterly meetings to ensure good cooperation.

As a university hospital, we have an obligation to educate medical students. We also have a commitment to educate younger doctors to ensure medical professional development.

The outpatient clinic is physically located on the centre’s campus at Bispebjerg. The outpatient clinic is led jointly by the head of department and the chief nurse.

We offer

• Possibility to work with assessment and treatment of eating disorders and related comorbidity at a highly specialized level.
• Focus on professional development in the form of regular teaching and course activities and regular supervision.

• Motivated – and fun – colleagues in a good collegial working environment, with close medical professional sparring and camaraderie.
• Employment in a well-structured department that prioritizes professional development and research.

We expect

• That you have medical authorization and completed the internship (KBU)
