We are looking for a specialist physician who will be part of the team that is currently building a strong position in pulmonology at Midt- and West Zealand Health

The Pulmonary Medicine Department at Midt- and Vestsjællands Hospital – Slagelse, has succeeded in recruiting several specialists and we are about to start building the strengthening position that the Region has decided should be at Midt- og Vestsjællands Hospital.
