Each year, the association sends out a survey to all AT physicians, where they are asked to evaluate their AT service. The survey then forms the basis of a ranking of all hospitals in the country. In this year's survey, Linköping and Motala are jointly reported and they end up in 31st place, with 4.95 points out of 6.0 possible.

Which means that Linköping is ranked highest by the country's university hospital.

"It feels very funny that we are the best in the class among the university hospitals," says Lena Holmertz, Head of Operations for AT in Linköping and Motala, in a comment on the region's site.

The questionnaire is based on questions relating to, among other things, introduction, supervision and instruction.
