We are looking for a doctor with obstetric experience, a specialist in surgery, and preferably also with knowledge of general medicine, for a 3-month temporary position – preferably longer – or by agreement.

Commencement on July 1, 2026, or by further agreement.

Non-specialist doctors with good knowledge and experience are also welcome to apply.

The hospital in Tasiilaq is a well-functioning hospital that has 19 beds for patients in all categories.

We have X-ray facilities and the possibility to conduct ultrasound examinations, an eye clinic with telemedicine, and a dental clinic on site.

• Surgically experienced colleagues on site – you will not have to face surgical challenges alone unless you want to and can.
• A good community where there is a good connection between you and the staff and the other substitutes.
• Good collaboration with other authorities and institutions - the hospital is an important part of the community, and we are proud of that.
• Possibility of possibly visiting one or more of our 5 villages - by boat, helicopter, or snowmobile - of course depending on weather conditions and medical staffing.

• Is curious, open, and interested.
• I enjoy working together with others, also across different professional groups, and I have good collaboration skills.
• Works with great flexibility and independence.
