AIOS Ophthalmology

Are you motivated and enthusiastic to follow the training to become an ophthalmologist and join our team? Then apply quickly! The start date is March 15 or May 24, 2027.

As a doctor in training to become an ophthalmologist, you will be involved in clinical and outpatient patient care. Additionally, the training includes various educational activities with staff physicians and you will contribute to the supervision of medical interns. Scientific research within ophthalmology may also form part of the training.

You will be working at the Ophthalmology outpatient clinic. This clinic was completely renovated in 2022. Think of the equipment, the units, the consultation rooms, and the layout of the clinic. A modern and innovative environment, therefore. A friendly and accessible atmosphere prevails. We look out for one another and there is a "can-do" mentality to constantly provide the best ophthalmic care. You will fit in perfectly!

The Ophthalmology outpatient clinic is, also internationally, one of the most complex organizations within a hospital. Nearly 30,000 consultations take place at our clinic per year, and we perform over 3,500 eye surgeries annually in the OR complex. In addition to consultations, much diagnostic research is conducted at the outpatient clinic, often involving complex imaging. Laser treatments also take place daily in our laser rooms, and there is an outpatient treatment room. At the outpatient clinic, the 'one-stop-shop' principle is applied as much as possible, whereby the patient undergoes additional diagnostics immediately after the initial consultation and then returns to the consultation room for the diagnosis and the discussion of the treatment plan.

This way of working requires a smart, flexible organization in which all components are coordinated with one another.

Within the Ophthalmology department, we work hard for our patients, in a good atmosphere and in a close-knit team, where we also regularly take time for each other to think together about our future plans. In total, 100 employees work together to provide the best person-centered ophthalmic care. Together, we are involved in:

• Academic patient care.
• Research, primarily focused on retinal diseases, both basic and clinically focused in our trial center.
• Training of doctors to become ophthalmologists.
• Education of students in the Medicine curriculum.

Our colleagues work, among other places, in the outpatient clinic, the OR complex, and in the trial center.

We are looking for a graduated general practitioner who is BIG-registered and has an interest in ophthalmology. You have already gained some experience in this field. Our ideal candidate can work under pressure and is empathetic and patient-oriented.

Additionally, you possess good communication skills and know how to interact with patients and colleagues in a pleasant and professional manner. You are result-oriented and, moreover, you can collaborate well. Furthermore, you possess excellent fine motor skills.

• The first interviews will take place on November 30. The second interviews on December 14. It would be helpful if you could take this into account in advance.
• A shadowing day and an assessment are part of this application procedure.
• A Certificate of Conduct (VOG) is required for this position.

We are recruiting for this vacancy ourselves. We do not appreciate acquisition; however, sharing within your network is welcome.
