Specialist Physician for the Center for Functional Disorders

We are seeking a specialist physician for our team at the Center for Functional Disorders, Vejle Hospital.

The Center for Functional Disorders has a regional function for the Region of Southern Denmark and provides ambulatory treatment for adults with moderate to severe functional disorders.

We are a small team consisting of doctors, a nurse, physiotherapists, a social worker, a psychologist and a secretary. In addition to the fixed team, we have two psychologists attached as consultants here, including as part of external supervision. We have a close and fruitful multidisciplinary collaboration, where we place professionalism, supervision, collaboration, job satisfaction and, not least, good humor high.

We are looking for a specialist who will help lift and further develop our treatment offering. We offer thorough introduction to the function in the form of supervised training and close collaboration.

All our patients are assigned a contact physician who follows them through their course. The treatment is organized individually and can consist of patient education, an individual course with the physiotherapist, the social worker and/or the nurse, participation in caregiver events, and not least psychotherapeutic treatment in group and/or individually.

In addition to clinical work, we have a number of teaching activities both internally and externally. We participate in congresses in Denmark and abroad, in network meetings and in advising professionals, administrators and the political system.

We are looking for an engaged physician who wants to work with functional disorders. You should ideally have knowledge of functional disorders and should have an interest in further education and in strengthening your skills in the field. You are a specialist in general practice, internal medicine or psychiatry, but this is not decisive if the field interests you. You wish to conduct individual conversations as the primary contact physician as well as engage in professional sparring with the other professional groups. The position is full-time.

Center for Functional Disorders was established in 2021 and is organized under the Medical Department, Vejle Hospital, which also houses the specialties of pulmonology, gastroenterology, rheumatology and hematology. In the Medical Department we strive to give the patient the best possible course and make use of each other's professionalism and competences. We are in rapid development and everyday life often brings new tasks. We have very high patient satisfaction, and we experience great and positive interest from our collaborators.
