Starting at the end of 2027, the Endocrinology Department will form a joint clinic with the Nephrology Department. We are already seeking a Medical Director for the future Endocrinology Section, and you will play an important role in establishing this new clinic. Our mission focuses on medical conditions of hormone-producing organs, and our operations include an endocrinology outpatient clinic and a diabetes clinic, as well as responsibility for six inpatient beds. An important part of our mission is to integrate research and development into clinical operations, with the goal of strengthening endocrinology as a research-driven and knowledge-development unit. We are now seeking an engaged Medical Director who wants to be a driving force in this exciting transformation journey. Are you the person we're looking for? What We Offer Here you have a unique opportunity to build and shape the clinic structure from the ground up and drive the development of care for endocrinology patients. You will have engaged staff members and strong support from management, HR, finance, and operations developers to drive and develop the clinic. Please read about our benefits here; you will also find information about salary and compensation regulations. Job Description As Medical Director of Endocrinology, you are part of the clinic leadership and play a central role in leading and developing the operations. Together with other members of the leadership team, you are responsible for driving the clinic forward and ensuring efficient work methods, a good working environment, and high patient safety. The role also includes special responsibility for inpatient care and work with the newly established department. As Medical Director, you have personnel responsibility for the clinic's physician group, which includes approximately 14 staff members and encompasses senior physicians, specialist physicians, resident physicians (ST-läkare), and junior physicians. The role involves both operational and strategic work where, through engaged and present leadership, you create a strong team culture focused on collaboration and development. As Medical Director, you work both as a manager and provide clinical services. The role includes further developing care processes, driving improvement initiatives, ensuring follow-up on goals and results, and ensuring that the clinic develops in line with the clinic's needs. You also collaborate with departments across the hospital, the university, and primary care to strengthen the quality of care and research's role at the clinic. About You We are primarily seeking physicians with specialist competence in endocrinology and/or internal medicine, but senior resident physicians at the end of their training are also welcome to apply. We welcome both those with prior experience as a manager and those who see this as the next step in your professional development. It is meritorious if you have experience in management or leadership, but what is most important is your willingness and ability to lead, inspire, and develop the clinic together with your staff and colleagues. We are seeking someone who thrives in a leadership role and has the ability to create engagement and participation in both your work group and in collaboration with colleagues. You have empathy and genuine interest in people and meet them where they are. You are secure in your professional role, have good collaboration skills, and understand the importance of clear and transparent communication.
