For research opportunities, I suppose you should first contact the medical faculties at different universities. Besides the seven that have medical degree programs of their own, you could also try Linnaeus University.

Thanks in deed Nils for your reply and for providing all the info.
I did email them, but had the same formal answer.
I wish I would have the chance to do some research while I am learning the language, this will soar my chances I reckon.
Kind regards.

Have you checked with the Swedish Medical Association? They know more than me about the conditions facing foreign medical specialists coming to Sweden.

Dear members,
First I'd like to thank the efforts of everyone here. The forum is really informative.

I am a specialist ophthalmologist from Syria, with about 4.5 residency experience , and 2 years post speciality-certificate experience. My CV is rather good with one international paper and 3 local. 3 boards: Syrian board, Arab board, and FRCS Uk. All in ophthalmology.

I want to know my chances in finding the required 6 months probationary period to be assessed as a specialist, and if that is done the chances of getting ST place till getting the swedish specialist certificate.
I read in this forum and in swedisch sites it is difficult for non EU specialist to be enrolled smoothly into ST esp in ophthalmology.

And if anyone knows the scope for my case in Denmark it would be great indeed. I heard it is so difficult to get ST in ophthalmology in Denmark too.

PS I ve read the official sites for health system in both countries and already contacted them to get some info, but was only the official words that i got back.

Thanks in advance for everyone.
