Call for applications for the
The 7th Scandinavian Training Program in Paediatric Anaesthesia and Intensive Care 2009-2010



The Scandinavian Society of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care Medicine (SSAI) co-ordinates an advanced Inter-Nordic education program in Paediatric Anaesthesia and Intensive Care. This education program aims at physicians who recently have received their specialist degree in Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care. The training program is limited to 12-14 trainees from the Nordic countries. The training period is 12 months, starting from September 1, 2009. During the training period, the Steering Committee for this program organises three theoretical courses. These courses will circulate between the Nordic Countries and the language will be English. The training period includes a one-month exchange program at a University Hospital Department in another country. Trainees completing the one-year Inter-Nordic training program will receive a Diploma in Paediatric Anaesthesia and Intensive Care from the SSAI.

The trainee must arrange an appointment at a Department of Paediatric Anaesthesia and Intensive Care at a University Hospital in Copenhagen, Odense, Århus, Oslo (Rikshospitalet and Ullevål), Trondheim, Gothenburg, Lund, Stockholm, Helsinki, Oulu and Turku. When the Department accepts the trainee, the host clinic will employ the trainee in an appropriate position during the training program. All expenses for this program (including travelling, accommodation and a fee for each of the three courses as well as support for expenses during the exchange programme) will be covered for by the host clinic.
