Auskultation

Auskultation

Med hänsyn till att många utländska läkare inte varit yrkesverksamma under lång tid före kunskapsprovet eller provtjänstgöringen, bl.a. till följd av utbildning i svenska språket kan det vara värdefullt med auskultation i den svenska hälso- och sjukvården. Det innebär att läkaren "går vid sidan om" och utför de arbetsuppgifter klinikledningen delegerar. Auskultation innebär inte att man utövar läkaryrket i formell mening, men kan ändå vara ett viktigt inslag i förberedelserna för kunskapsprov och provtjänstgöring.

Under auskultationen uppkommer ofta frågan om vilka arbetsuppgifter den utländske läkaren får utföra. Svaret står att finna i Socialstyrelsens föreskrifter och allmänna råd (SOSFS 1997:14) om delegering av arbetsuppgifter inom hälso- och sjukvård och tandvård. Av denna författning framgår att den som delegerar en arbetsuppgift till annan person måste ha förvissat sig om att uppgiftsmottagaren är reellt kompetent att utföra uppgiften och att delegering är förenlig med en god och säker vård. En arbetsuppgift får dock inte delegeras om det av en bestämmelse i en författning, en instruktion eller liknande framgår att uppgiften är förbehållen en viss yrkesgrupp. I detta sammanhang kan som exempel anges receptförskrivning och utfärdande av intyg av olika slag.

I have always been worried about the practical part of the test, so I've been looking for places to practice ever since I completed the language part. Finally I have found one at a clinik (Tudorkliniken). It's similar to vårdcentral but run by private persons. I've signed up for a full month, starting 26th November. The experience so far has been great. I sit in the doctor's room and listen to the conversation going on with the patient. A few times I have also got the opportunity to take a short history of patients and to listen to heart and lungs and look at their throats. Plus. I've seen procedures like (stans) removal of moles and injecting cortisone into muscles/joints. I've also been at the paeds section and seen the usual visits.
Now I'm looking forward to Gynaecological examination since I've been told you might have to do it at the test.

Most important of all, I have met people and learned to talk to them like ordinary human beings.

Since my first day here, people (personnel) have been meeting me and asking me for introduction. They listen to everything, but say only one thing.. You are so good at Swedish even though you've been here just over a year!
I'm on the moon! Feel AWESOME! My confidence has been boosted 100 times! This is also another reason I'm glad I took the chance of working here, even though it's tiring and it's almost imposssible to study at home and especially difficult to workout :(
And the weird fact that I'm even using Facebook in Swedish... now THAT is fun! ;)

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...
