Why and Who Should Attend This Workshop?

This workshop is primarily designed for doctors preparing for the OSCE examination, a crucial requirement for obtaining their Läkärlegitimation in Sweden. However, we strongly recommend this workshop to all healthcare professionals aspiring to work in Sweden.

The OSCE exam is fundamentally an assessment of your ability to communicate effectively with patients in Swedish—a combination of your Swedish language skills and medical knowledge.

You may have studied Swedish extensively, practiced medical terminology, and read numerous articles, but have you ever had the chance to examine a Swedish patient and engage in real communication while being observed by an experienced surgeon or doctor from Sweden? Have you received direct feedback from them?

This workshop provides you with that opportunity, even without being in Sweden. It’s a rare chance to practice patient communication skills in Swedish with native doctors, offering you invaluable experience before you make the move to Sweden.

Our team is composed of seasoned professionals who are not only experts in the Swedish healthcare system but also deeply understand the OSCE examination and the unique challenges international healthcare staff face in Sweden. They are dedicated to helping you navigate these challenges and achieve success.
