A minimum of 12 months was to be spent at a highly qualified laboratory outside Sweden and of the time spent in Sweden at least 80% was to be devoted to research. It was a prerequisite that the candidate was allowed leave of absence from his/her clinical position by the employer, confirmed by a letter of support from the Head of Department.
