For students

Fimlab collaborates closely with vocational schools, universities of applied sciences and universities across Finland at all levels of education. Educational collaboration and the quality of student guidance are strategically significant to us.

Become an intern or specialise as a clinical laboratory specialist!

 

We offer almost 6000 internship days per year to bioanalyst and practical nursing students in our wide field of expertise. The internship will deepen your professional competence and working life skills, which will help you shift from studies into a career.

We offer junior house officer internships to medical students. We offer medical graduates the opportunity to specialise in medical specialties such as pathology, clinical chemistry, clinical haematology and clinical microbiology.

We offer our employees, who have a degree in natural sciences and want to qualify into hospital environment, the opportunity for specialist training (e.g. specialising hospital chemist or specialising hospital microbiologist).

Internships are available for students of other fields, too, such as business administration or engineering students.

Internships for Bioanalyst students can be completed through sampling work or various laboratory tasks in specialised fields, based on the progression of the studies. We offer a wide range of internship opportunities in outpatient sampling and ward sampling, modern laboratory environments for chemistry and haematology, as well as special laboratories in the medical specialties of pathology, genetics, microbiology, immunology, and molecular biology. We also offer internships for those in advanced studies in the fertility treatment laboratory, scientific research services and IT tasks . Internships for bioanalyst students will be open to applications via Jobiili system.

We collaborate closely with vocational schools to ensure that the needs of studies and work are fulfilled. Our collaboration involves regular meetings, a working life forum, networks, and guidance group work.

We offer practical nursing students the opportunity to complete sampling training as part of their second-degree studies in sample collection centres, a healthcare centre environment and outpatient laboratories.

Fimlab also arranges courses on “Sampling and customer service in nursing” as optional studies for the practical nursing degree in collaboration with various educational institutions in its areas of operation. In many of these courses, Fimlab’s experts will teach the theoretical lectures. Work-based learning and demonstrations of competency are carried out in Fimlab’s service locations. The optional courses are open to applications according to the standard application methods of the institutions. After graduation, practical nurses who have completed these optional courses are fully qualified to perform sampling work at Fimlab.

Practical nursing graduates, who want to branch into new avenues of work, can also inquire educational institutions about the opportunity to apply to the optional courses on “Sampling and customer service in nursing.” It is recommended to ask directly about opportunities at the institutions that have the right to award the degree and are responsible for the student selection based on their own applicant situation. Practical nursing graduates can also become fully qualified to perform sampling work at Fimlab by completing the theoretical courses and the associated work-based learning with demonstration of competency as supplementary studies.

In certain situations, it is also possible to complete the courses on “Sampling and customer service in nursing” as an apprenticeship training. We provide apprenticeship recruitments as open job positions based on regional needs and dates of collaborative training. You can also express your interest in an apprenticeship training in your job application.

We offer junior house officer internships to medical students  as an opportunity to learn more about the operations on specialised fields such as pathology, clinical chemistry, clinical haematology, or clinical microbiology. The internships are available primarily in the central laboratory of Tampere. You can apply via internship application through the Faculty of Medicine in the University of Tampere. Medical students from other universities can also apply to a junior house officer internship through an open job application.

Fimlab is approved as an institution for specialist medical training  under an agreement with the University of Tampere and the Wellbeing Services County of Pirkanmaa, as well as the Decree of the Ministry of Social Affairs and Health. We train specialists for medical specialties such as pathology, clinical chemistry, clinical haematology, and clinical microbiology.

We are happy to cooperate with you on your thesis. Thesis subjects will be determined in cooperation with the student on a case-by-case basis in various fields that promote the operations and development of Fimlab.

Student feedback

We students were warmly welcomed and felt included in the work community from the very start.

Every supervisor seemed genuinely interested in my studies and providing me with guidance. The guidance effectively combined theory and practical training.

All my questions were answered comprehensively, and I got tips on how to do better. I really liked how everyone was encouraging and complimenting each other.

The best part was how I got to see and try my hand at a wide variety of tasks. My wishes were also considered.

The structure of the internship was clear and well-planned. The guidance was planned so that it would benefit my learning in many ways.
