If you value excellent training opportunities and bold experimentation, come and work with us as a doctor. Here, you get to develop your professional competence.
What we can offer to health centre doctors and doctors in postgraduate training
We are part of Academic Health Centre, which promotes scientific research in primary health care. In addition, many of our health centre doctors are involved in national Current Care Guideline working groups.
We invest in the training and career development of doctors. The education and training are coordinated by the Teaching Health Centre. We have a senior medical officer in charge of training and three clinical lecturers as well as a large number of mentors and instructors. What we can offer you:
Working at VAKE is highly rewarding and allows you to balance personal and professional life smoothly.
Regardless of where you live in the Greater Helsinki area, your workplace is within easy reach of excellent transport links.
Are you a 4th-year medical student hoping to gain work experience in a relaxed and friendly working environment?
Come and work in Vantaa or Kerava for the summer. With us, you gain experience from a wide range of hospital services in primary care.
Katriina Hospital has five rehabilitation wards, a palliative and psychogeriatric ward, and a geriatric outpatient clinic, while Peijas Hospital has two geriatric acute care wards and an at-home hospital. In Kerava, there is one geriatric acute care ward and one assessment and rehabilitation ward.

Our Teaching Health Centre has its own budget, all of which is used to train doctors. We organise tailor-made, structured training courses for doctors at different stages of their career.
We take pride in our guidance: you can always ask questions and consult, and we reserve time for it. The training of doctors is coordinated by the Teaching Health Centre. If you are a postgraduate student, you will have your own personal supervisor. We have a senior medical officer in charge of training and three clinical lecturers as well as a large number of mentors and instructors in different locations.
