The local environment model

We welcome around 200 students from colleges and universities for study practice each year. Most are students in sports science, but also many in physiotherapy, occupational therapy or other health sciences. We have several physiotherapists on rotation at any given time. With an interdisciplinary approach and great emphasis on user contact in practice situations, knowledge and attitudes in the field are acquired through an opportunity-oriented approach.

Beitostølen Health Sports Center (BHSS) also offers the entire education course for the medical specialty of physical medicine and rehabilitation (FMR) and 6 months of service with relevant learning activities for the medical specialty of General Medicine (AM). Clinical service or internship at BHSS is also a relevant supplementary service and/or continuing education for other medical specialties such as neurology and pediatrics.

Tenders and new agreements from 2026

January 2, 2026

Tender competitions within specialized rehabilitation have been concluded in the regional health authorities.

The status of new agreements for Beitostølen Health Sports Center is:

  • Helse Vest: Rehabilitation of children/youth, young adults and adults, regardless of age and diagnosis.

  • South-East Health: Rehabilitation of children/youth and young adults up to 30 years of age, regardless of diagnosis.

  • Health Central Norway: Rehabilitation of children/youth and young adults up to 30 years of age, regardless of diagnosis.

Consequences of new agreements for the target group of adults over 30 years of age

Adults over 30 years of age from South-Eastern Norway, Northern Norway and Central Norway who need specialized rehabilitation with an emphasis on adapted physical activity and/or testing, training and use of relevant activity aids will lose the offer at Beitostølen Health Sports Center. From the summer of 2026, only adult patients from Western Norway will be able to be granted rehabilitation stays at Beitostølen Health Sports Center.

Further procurement in Health South-East

South-Eastern Health has announced that additional tenders remain to be announced regarding "treatment of specific patient groups in need of highly specialized treatment", as the need for specialized rehabilitation services in certain areas is not sufficiently covered by the completed procurement.

Offers for adults with an emphasis on adapted physical activity, health sports and activity aids are not specifically mentioned, but Beitostølen Health Sports Center believes that this should be part of the current new procurements for highly specialized treatment.
