my question

Before moving to Sweden, it was very important for me to know if I had all the necessary documents etc. in hand and that I didn't need anything more.
Taking all my documents with me was easy, but I still had one question, that being about house-job. Do I need to have done it before moving here? And the answer is NO. You can apply for verification of degree and for the test and then for the house job (AT) here just with your diploma (degree).

People who have little or no experience, those who have just graduated and also those who are not specialists yet, no matter how long they have worked.. they all need to pass the medical test first. They are treated alike at first, though doing the house job or working in the field might help you during the test and while working here. Because there is no replacement of practical knowledge.

People who have done specialization are not supposed to take the test. They will work for a period of 6 months during which they are observed at every step. If that goes okay, they can begin working here.

All this, of course, applies to people who come from outside the EU/EEA countries. Those who are EU/EEA start working direct. They don't need to "complete" their degree like we do. And language is a secondary issue for them.

      From what I understand if you have EU medical degree you are treated the same with EU citizens (even though you're not EU citizen)

Being a foreigner in Sweden?

One of my teachers said that the struggle of having competition among working people and complaints regarding reduction of available jobs due to immigration is basically a problem of the low educated population. When I gave it a thought, it appeared to be plausible. Studying and working in Sweden, I have never come across any situation where I've been discriminated for being a foreigner or a Muslim. Either I have been very lucky till now or it really is the case that my teacher was talking about. I sometimes think when people meet me and see a brown Muslim they begin thinking all kinds of thoughts, but then stop short in their thought process once they hear I'm a doctor and I will be/ already am a part of work force. It might be different for others. I've come across people saying that you won't get a job due to your last name, you have to work 3 times harder just because you are not from here. My way has been to block out all these voices and continue moving forward ...

Working, new rules

It's been a really long time since I posted here. I have been really busy, both with work and in personal life. Work has gone good. It was a rich experience working at a clinic as a doctor. For the most part, I was treated like any other doctor in terms of what patients I get. But I did feel like it would be great to have license after AT/internship/housejob. I got to learn a lot more about the system and practical things. I even have a few patients who really want to just have me as their GP/husläkare. I wish it was easier to begin with AT and go faster to specialization because it's no fun to know so little. Plus temporary underläkare don't get any time from work hours to study (instuderingstid). Anyway, there have been tough periods, but mostly a good experience for a first job. So now it's just to continue applying for AT untill I get it. And to remember to not give up on my dreams despite how long it takes. Even though medicine is a big part of our lives as doctor...

Kompletterande utbildning för läkare med utländsk examen (KUL) - Gothenburg

I applied for this course in April, got the interview call for May, and received the news in mid June that  I have been given one of the 16 places at Gothenburg university. Classes started on August 25th. It's going great for the most part. The teachers are really helpful. The most helpful part till now was the history taking and examination practice that we had in the first few weeks. Here we can have an advantage over those jumping directly into the system. The funniest thing is, this one year course seemed SO long before, but now it seems like it's too little time to read each of the subjects we have. I'm forced to think how could I imagine preparing for TULE within 4-5 months. The best thing I've heard from a teacher till now is that we are going to be tested at the same level as other medical students in Sweden. It's been a month here and mostly theory classes. The next month is going to be at vårdcentral, akut, medicine and geriatrik. Let's see h...
