The general practitioners and staff at Nordre Land Municipality are thriving, and we’d like to welcome more general practitioners to our team:
There is one general practitioner position available at the Torpa Medical Office. We are looking for someone who is a specialist in general practice, an ALIS physician, or a physician who wishes to start as an ALIS physician.
The position is available starting March 1, 2027. Start date to be agreed upon.

The municipality has decided to increase the number of general practitioner positions from five to nine, with each general practitioner having 800 patients. All GP positions, with the exception of one at the Torpa medical office, have been filled. The GP position was created to improve services for residents and to enhance the daily work experience for GPs.

We are looking for someone who finds general practice exciting and interesting and who wants experienced and skilled general practitioners and support staff as colleagues. As of September 1, 2026, Nordre Land Municipality is responsible for operating the general practice offices. In practice, this means that new general practitioners will not be required to buy into the practice. The municipality retains the basic subsidy. Our general practitioners are self-employed.

Nordre Land Municipality has approximately 6,600 residents. Dokka is the administrative center of the municipality and was designated Norway’s first official “Village.” It offers a good selection of shops and services; in addition, Dokka Camping has been named the public’s favorite campground for several years in a row and stands out as one of the municipality’s cultural attractions. The municipality has preschools, an elementary school, and a middle school with a swimming pool. Torpa is located close to the municipality’s “innermost gem,” Synnfjellet and Spåtind. Nordre Land Municipality is among the 10 largest cabin municipalities in the Innlandet region and offers excellent outdoor recreation opportunities year-round.

The municipality has expanded the number of general practitioner positions to nine. Eight of these positions are filled by specialists in general medicine and ALIS physicians. The municipality also has two LIS1 physicians. The municipality is registered as a training institution for ALIS physicians and has developed a General Training Plan. The municipality has an agreement with Innlandet Hospital and the Beitostølen Health and Sports Center regarding institutional services. The municipality currently has two family physician offices: Landsbylegene Dokka and Torpa Medical Office. It takes approximately 30 minutes to travel from Dokka to Gjøvik, and approximately 30 minutes from Torpa to Lillehammer. The general practitioners’ offices are located about 17 km apart (15 min), and it takes just over 1 hour to reach Hamar and 2 hours to reach Oslo.

Both general practitioners are specialists in general medicine and have worked at the medical office for many years. The municipal chief medical officer works at the Torpa medical office. The Torpa medical office has capacity for 2,650 patients on its patient lists.

Landsbylegene Dokka is located in Dokka and currently has six primary care physician positions and one LIS1 physician.
