Application and deadlines for LIS1 positions (www.helsedirektoratet.no)
You must have Norwegian authorisation or a licence as a doctor and be proficient in Norwegian, Swedish, or Danish at a high level (at least equivalent to language level C1) to be a suitable candidate. In the job advertisement, you will find more information about the desired qualities for our LIS1 positions.
Since we receive far more applications than we have available positions every six months, a stepwise selection process for candidates to interview is conducted. In the initial round, we use a scoring system where you earn points for relevant work experience, research, positions held, relevant courses, and personal suitability.
The candidates with the highest scores proceed to the next stage, where representatives from the various rotations select which candidates are invited for an interview.
Ahus (Nordbyhagen and Kongsvinger), Diakonhjemmet Hospital, Lovisenberg Diaconal Hospital, Oslo University Hospital, and Vestre Viken collaborate on the recruitment process. If you have applied to several of the hospitals, you may receive interview offers from multiple places, but you will only receive an employment offer from one of the hospitals in each round. You prioritise where you wish to receive an offer.
The mandatory introductory course begins in mid-February and mid-August. The start date in each clinic is 1 March or 1 September.
All LIS1 doctors are employed at Ahus before being employed in a municipality in Akershus, Finnmark, or a municipality in the Kongsvinger area.
LIS1 doctors have a mutual probation period of six months and a mutual notice period of one month.
On helsedirektoratet.no, you will find information about fees and regulations related to the LIS1 service. We ask you to read this and apply for either an LIS1 licence or authorisation. Remember that the fee must be paid before the processing of your application begins.
