Doctors in training to become Geriatricians

Azora is a foundation with various residential care centers, nursing homes, and home care services at several locations. Within the nursing homes, there are various specialized departments, such as rehabilitation with a separate CVA unit, a palliative unit, gerontopsychiatry, and within psychogeriatrics, a unit for Korsakov patients and residents with intellectual disabilities. The medical department carries out its activities within Azora's residential care centers and nursing homes, as well as at other institutions in the region.

The medical department, consisting of 11 doctors and 16 nurse practitioners, whether in training or not, is part of the Advisory and Treatment Center. Azora offers a wide range of different professionals within this service. The medical manager, who is also a geriatrician, is a member of Azora's management team. Collaboration within the multidisciplinary team takes place in an open and pleasant atmosphere.

As a future geriatrician, you provide medical care (examination, diagnostics, treatment, and guidance) to nursing home residents at various locations in the Achterhoek, with the aim of preventing, limiting, and combating disease, pain, and discomfort as much as possible, and realizing optimal care for the client according to the principle of 'tailored care'. The client's quality of life is central to this. You are responsible for the content of the care plan, but you will, of course, be guided in this by your colleagues.

Azora has a partnership with Radboud UMC in Nijmegen for the geriatrician training program. When you are admitted to the geriatrician training program, you will become employed by SBOH, the employer of geriatricians in training, during the course of your training. The practical part of the training (somatics and psychogeriatrics) can take place within Azora. You will be guided in this by our training group of experienced trainers. Are you a medical specialist and interested in a shortened training track to become a geriatrician? Azora would also be happy to think along with you.

We believe that if you are satisfied, our clients receive the best care. That is what matters to us. We are therefore proud to have been named the Best Employer in Gelderland three times in a row. As an AIOS, you can count on an educational training position with expert colleagues at Azora.

You understand that the client's quality of life is central to this position. To this end, you take various actions to realize this and know how to motivate and inspire others to ensure and deliver the best care. And that requires commitment, knowledge, flexibility, empathy, and the will to keep improving.

Together with your colleagues, you fully commit yourself to providing the best possible care. You have completed training as a general practitioner and have an affinity with elderly care. From our AIOS, we also expect that you can collaborate well with other disciplines and think along about the care provided. Can you work independently and assess situations correctly? And do you also possess a driver's license and a car? Then we look forward to receiving your application!
