ACADEMIC POSTS. A total of 28 people have been awarded one of the ALF posts that Hälso-sam has recently advertised at three levels, with thirteen qualified doctors currently undertaking postgraduate education being awarded ALF posts at doctorate level, eleven doctors currently defending their theses being awarded ALF posts for qualified doctors with doctorates in medicine, and four specialist doctors with readerships being awarded Higher clinical ALF posts.
ALF posts for qualified doctors at doctorate level make it possible to combine postgraduate education with a clinical posting, part-time, for a two-year period, after which point it is possible to extend the posts for a further two years; a new application has to be submitted and approved for this to happen, however. The posts pay part-time salaries.
The following thirteen postgraduate students (chosen from a total of 33 applicants) have been awarded ALF posts for qualified doctors at doctorate level:
- Kristian Axelsson
- Jesper Waldenström
- Anna Nordenskjöld
- Despoina Kantere
- Emily Krantz
- Helena Hammarström
- Margrét Johansson Gudjonsdottir
- Gudmundur Vignir Sigurdsson

ALF posts for qualified doctors with doctorates in medicine make it possible to combine continuing, post-disputation research with a clinical posting on a part-time basis. The posts are for a period of two years, which may be extended by a further two years, subject to a follow-up and decision by Medi-sam. Project funds of SEK 200,000 per year are available on top of the part-time salaries being paid.

Higher clinical ALF research posts make it possible to combine continuing, post-readership research with a clinical posting. The posts are for a two-year period, which may be extended by a further two years subject to a follow-up and approval by Medi-sam. The posts enable research to be combined with clinical postings on a part-time basis, giving researchers the opportunity to qualify academically over a period of up to four years (2+2 years). An annual research grant of SEK 300,000 is also available collectively in connection with the post.
The following four doctors with readerships (chosen from a total of nine applicants) have been assigned higher clinical ALF research posts:
