Please note that the specialist training in Medicine and Dentistry is only offered in Finnish.
Universities offer 50 specialist training programmes in medicine and 5 programmes in dentistry. The number and titles of specialities have been defined in Finnish legislation on specialist education (Decree No 56/2015, formerly changed with Decree No 55/2020, both of the links open in a new tab).
Specialist training in medicine/dentistry can be taken by doctors/dentists licensed by the Finnish authority (National Supervisory Authority for Welfare and Health, Valvira, opens in a new tab). The specialist degree requires at least 5 years of medical practice including at least 9 months of services in public health care centers, theoretical and administrative courses and passing a national written exam.
The Faculty grants the study right, but the training itself takes place within the health care system. The selection of physicians to the training posts at Faculty-approved training units is conducted as per the respective selection procedures of the health care units in question.
