Relating the main position:

Department of Pulmonary Medicine is organized under the Division of Medicine.
The Department of Pulmonary Medicine is a large department at the country's largest general hospital. The department has a high level of activity and treats the vast majority of pulmonary medical issues, as well as providing services to other units in the hospital.

The department consists of two wards with a total of 41 beds, a large outpatient clinic, a day unit and an associated ambulatory pulmonary team. The department has two medical sections: a section for senior consultants and a section for interns/residents. In addition, we have program areas for lung cancer, obstructive diseases/ventilatory support and interstitial lung disease/infection. In total, 17 senior consultants and 21 interns/residents are affiliated with the section. The Department has two positions as professor/associate professor, depending on qualifications.
Research is an integral part of the clinic and is expected to grow. The Department has a large catchment area with unselected patients, which is suited for research in many conditions, as well as epidemiological projects. We have recently conducted research in several pulmonary disease areas, including obstructive lung disease, interstitial lung disease, malignant lung disease and lung infections, both self-initiated studies, commissioned research, and registry studies.
