DEBATE. During almost a year we have tried to engage in dialogue with the government offices snabbspårsansvarige, the national Board of health and the concerned university which organises a proficiency test for the medically educated outside the EU – but without any result.

Snabbspårets purpose is to protect the participants ' skills and as soon as possible, to get them into work. How many are they?

for Example, so far has eight complete tests for the doctor carried out since the new legitimationsreglerna began to apply on 1 July 2016, with a total of 889 challenging. 100 approved, or 11 per cent. A disastrous result.

other yrkeskategoriers test scores are mediocre. The SALAR have to push on the next government to change the snabbspårsupplägget. It is extremely in a hurry.

To hear snabbspårares daily life as a badly paid nurses or no job at all is outrageous. It is cynical to use an Arabic-speaking doctor, who works as a nursing assistant when he / she may act as a ”doctor” for an Arabic-speaking patient who is not Swedish.

Absolutely no offense to nurses, but are you a doctor or a nurse have the knowledge to be maintained and learn new things.

the Road through the university is bureaucratic, cumbersome, costly, takes too long

We suggest:

Competence best assessed by the supervising fellow on clinical probation, then an oral proficiency test. So does Germany, where legitimationsprocessen takes 0.5 to 2 years, a fast track that deserves the name. The road through the university is bureaucratic, cumbersome, costly, take too long and stress snabbspårarna hard. Provide snabbspåraren instead with a ”financial” backpack that pays their own salary and handledarersättning. It costs a fraction of the leased-in relays, whose bill was 25 billion years 2011-2017. It is equivalent to five years of operation of the county council of Blekinge. The proposal can replace the samples or to be a complement.

In the Swedish language training are taught vardagsvenska out so snabbspåraren can converse with patients and colleagues. Kunskapsprovens many questions are not correct fully as academic and tortuous. The samples are a medical test and not a linguistic thing. Let the teachers of the concerned university educational institution go through the questions.

the Tests all of the questions involve a greatly stresspåslag when implemented on a very limited number of hours. Extend the trial!

Provfrågorna are based on the Swedish undergraduate degree (and AT for the doctor). A fresh graduate from abroad are favoured, while those with long experience in their profession and specialists are at a disadvantage. Their undergraduate degree stretches himself far back in time. Despite the fact that a physician is already a specialist in their home country is required today for an additional five years specialist training. Instead, let the peer supervisor to assess the skills of the experienced and specialist.

Snabbspårarna must get a fair chance to prepare himself for the test. This can be done by supervised preparandkurs in each county/region (small counties can cooperate) linked to Swedish language training. The course is assessed snabbspårarens knowledge.

Both Umeå university and KI (tandläkareprov) has space for the samples. Bottlenecks must be removed.

An intensive training programme is needed to highlight the cultural differences of the male's view of more skilled female colleagues, one american youth center can be perceived as revolutionary, etc
