Information for international medical graduates

[Nils]

This thread is a "work in progress" with the purpose to gather relevant information and useful website links in a single place so that they are easier to find. The list should not be used as your only guide to entering Sweden as a foreign medical graduate.

Of course, all suggestions for additional inclusions are welcome!
