Greetings,
I would like to ask about guidance or steps for AT application in Sweden. If one has approval from National Board of Heath and Welfare (Socialstyrelsen) for Internship,
1) Should one just wait at week 9 or week 38 for vacancies posted in Lakartidningen or one can proactively approach any hospital at location of interest for enquiries about vacancy?
2) Is there a centralised system for AT application or it is individual basis for hiring?
3) As stated in the directives, sufficient knowledge of Swedish language is one's responsibility but during application for AT, would there be any chance for beginners in the language or must the whole application done in Swedish?
4) As understood that average waiting time for AT is about 9 months...but is this implying that this is the waiting period to get a response from the respective hospital applied?
5) Last but not least, average salary for AT internship period is about 25,000 to 30,000 Swedish Krona, is that sufficient for a decent living (presumably not at Stockholm but other smaller states/region)
Thank you for your kind info and attention.
