General Medicine Specialist at Backe Health Center Backe Health Center is a smaller unit with approximately 1,200 registered patients, providing excellent conditions for long-term patient relationships, continuity, and medical quality.
The physician team is being built up, which means you will have great opportunities to shape working methods, priorities, and development. At the same time, you have access to physician colleagues at Strömsunds Health Center, where the proximity care unit NÄVA is also located.
As a specialist in general medicine, you have a broad and varied assignment, with the opportunity to work closely with both patients and team.
At our workplace, you will encounter:
• Collaboration across professional boundaries
• Participation and trust
• Respect for medical competence and judgment
• We value both experience and commitment and believe in leadership where physicians are given the opportunity to influence and develop the operations. Here are colleagues with both breadth and depth, and a willingness to work together.
Primary care in Region Jämtland Härjedalen is part of the Division Close Care, where primary care, ambulance services, psychiatry, and public dentistry collaborate. This provides excellent conditions for coordinated care, short decision-making pathways, and professional dialogue between operations.
Since 2022, primary care and ambulance services are integrated – an important step in the work for good and close care, where the patient's needs guide the organization of care.

JOB DUTIES
As a district physician with us, you work broadly within primary care assessing, investigating, treating, and advising patients with varying symptoms and medical questions. The assignment includes both acute and planned patient contacts and is characterized by a holistic perspective on the patient's needs.
The work also includes health promotion and prevention measures, individually and in groups, as well as close collaboration with other professions at the health center. Assignments within child health services (BVC) and medical responsibility for special housing will be included.
You work evidence-based and use varied working methods, including individual patient meetings, group activities, and digital contacts via the internet, with the goal of offering accessible, good, and close care.
Working conditions are designed to be sustainable over time. On-call and standby duties are included approximately once per month and are held at Strömsunds Health Center. There is an opportunity for remote work for administrative tasks and scheduling flexibility that can be adapted to operational needs and your life situation. The ambition is clear: this should be work that you can sustain for many years.
For those with extensive experience and an interest in contributing beyond clinical work, there are good opportunities to take greater responsibility. This could involve supervision of ST physicians and medical management responsibility.

Life outside of work is a decisive factor for many at this stage of their career. Backe offers a peace and quiet that is difficult to find in larger settings. Here there is easy access to hunting, fishing, cross-country skiing, and remote mountains, short everyday distances, and low stress. At the same time, there is proximity to Strömsund, Junsele, Ramsele, and Hoting, and the possibility of longer commutes to both Östersund and Umeå.
This is a position for you who are confident in your specialist role, who value continuity, wholeness, and professional autonomy, and who see rural conditions as an opportunity rather than a limitation. Backe Health Center offers a context where your experience is not only sought but needed.
Backe Health Center for you who want to work with all your experience and have the space to use it.
