Description

Context

A motion was voted at the OCB Gathering June 2015, stating that “there is an urgent need to formalize, accredit and further develop medical and para-medical training and education in MSF for all staff, with a strong focus on national staff capacity.”

The role of the Medical Academy MIO Nurse Mentor /lector for IPD nurses in the broader set up of the MSF Medical Academy is to support the MSF Medical Advisor in the practical implementation of the motion stated above. So your role will be to implement, monitor and evaluate impact of the MSF Medical academy educational programs

You will work in tandem with an experienced MSF nurse. This person will go through the whole process described below together with you and won’t necessarily be a professional mentor/lector. So it will be for you to support him/her to get familiarized with the academic aspects of the projects while he/she will support you to work in an MSF context with MSF staff.

By doing so we want to create in house expertise in professional mentorship and to create a comfortable and challenging working atmosphere that allows both parties to learn from each other and stay for a longer period on board with us in this project.  

Teamwork with:

  • Academic team from nursing school institutions.
  • Field team in the project (national and international staff).
  • Technical advisors in the medical department.
  • Learning and development unit.
