CONTEXT 

The MSF Academy for Healthcare is an initiative that has been created with the aim to increase the quality of healthcare provided by our staff to the patients we assist in the missions. The Academy has a growing portfolio of projects addressing specific learning objectives of different categories of healthcare staff in MSF. All these projects are chosen in line with overall MSF operational and medical priorities. 

A large focus is on MSF’s national staff, especially in the countries with the largest gaps in human resources for health (HRH) capacity. The Academy develops adapted curricula and invests a great deal in clinical mentorship in the wards. The Academy aims to maintain the same overall educational approach in all its projects: competency-based learning; as much as possible on-the-job training with the presence of strong tutors or clinical mentors; and seeking to achieve appropriate accreditation for all trainings, often in collaboration with partner teaching institutes. We hope to install a much stronger learning culture within the MSF operations. Beyond MSF projects, the Academy connects also to health authorities to work on accreditation of its learning and punctual support to governmental programs. 

Presently the nursing training programme has projects in CAR, South Sudan, Mali Sierra Leone and Yemen and it is planned to be expanded to other countries in the coming years. More recently, the Out-patient care initiative has been implemented with pilot initiatives in the field. In 2021 the MSF Academy has started to implement a project to improve the management of Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in MSF-supported structures, and two longer term academic courses: a Postgraduate Diploma in Infectious disease (PG DIP ID), and a two-year Postgraduate Diploma in Medical Humanitarian Action (PGDip MHA) for medical managers in the organisation. The portfolio of projects of the MSF Academy is growing, and projects are increasing in scope and complexity. Two of our programmes, namely the Postgraduate Diploma in Medical Humanitarian Action (PGDip MHA) and Antimicrobial Resistance learning initiative (AMR) are growing in 2024 and will need to reinforce the capacity at the beginning of the year. 

The Postgraduate Diploma in Medical Humanitarian Action is a 24-month practice-based diploma course that is tailor-made to strengthen the key competencies of MSF's future or junior medical coordinators (MedCos). The MSF Academy established a partnership with Wits University, in South Africa to accredit the program as a Postgraduate Diploma in Public Health from 2024 (https://www.wits.ac.za/publichealth/). Epicentre is also a partner of this course, to establish the teaching on biostatistics and epidemiology. The programme is a hybrid learning course with distance learning, live sessions and two face-to-face sessions of 1-2 weeks. A team of MSF professional tutors provide close individual support for the learners, to assure optimal work-based learning. The course is in English. 

The Antimicrobial learning initiative (AMR), is part of the ambition to fight antimicrobial resistance: MSF has decided to put the reduction of AMR in its projects as an institutional priority for the organization since 2016. From this priority, several OCs and the MSF Academy have developed the AMR Learning Initiative. The priority cadre for this course targets the learning needs of the IPC Supervisors or Managers and AMS (antimicrobial stewardship) Focal Points working in MSF hospitals. For both profiles, an e- learning course has been developed in partnership with the British Society of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy (BSAC). The content 

was organized with the input and validation from the MSF subject matter experts and through BSAC a formal accreditation with the Royal College of Pathologists has been attained for the final Diploma which is provided to all graduates of the courses. 

More information and reports on the MSF Academy and its activities can be found on https://academy.msf.org/. 

Position within the organisation 

The Global team of the MSF Academy is currently composed of project managers and technical referents (nursing, pedagogical, clinical and mentoring), and administrative responsibles. In addition, we have the support of an e-learning developer, a graphic designer and ad hoc content developers. The MSF Academy also includes established field positions for the implementation of the projects in the missions (nursing, OPD and midwifery). The team is relatively small and aims towards an approach in which every member can contribute to the general strategy of the projects, while being available for specific tasks outside its expertise or profile to contribute to the projects. 

This position will report to the Administrative Responsible. The Programme Intern will be in charge of providing comprehensive support to the two dedicated coordinators in the execution of the mission AMR and PGDip MHA programmes. By supporting our events’ organisation, the Intern will have the opportunity to meet and support MSF colleagues joining us from various projects, contexts and countries. While supporting the AMR programme’s logistics, the Intern will be in direct communication with all departments in MSF (operations, medical, communication, etc.) as well as with our projects in the field. Finally, they will also have the opportunity to witness and support the development of innovative course content and tools in nursing sciences, including eLearning, and learn about the daily life and processes of an important medical humanitarian NGO. 

The successful candidate will gain experience in all aspects of the work-reality, will have a good exposure to the development of pedagogical content, tools and programmes, and will be part of a growing MSF initiative within a dynamic, multicultural team.

QUI SOMMES NOUS

Médecins du Monde est une ONG internationale de développement médical faisant partie d'un réseau international. Nous fournissons une assistance médicale aux groupes vulnérables, en Belgique et dans le reste du monde.
Nous voulons une couverture universelle de santé où chaque personne a accès aux soins, sans obstacles

En Belgique et dans le monde, nos projets se destinent à toutes les personnes qui n'ont pas ou plus d'accès aux soins de santé. En particulier, ils se structurent en cinq axes : les personnes en marge de la société (personnes sans-abri, sans papier, usagères de drogues, travailleuses du sexe, etc.) ; les enfants en situation de vulnérabilité ; les femmes; les personnes migrantes ou déplacées et les victimes de crises ou de conflits.

Pour mener à bien notre mission, nous nous basons sur trois piliers : 

• Soigner : donner un réel accès aux soins aux populations.
• Changer : plus qu'aider, nous voulons changer les choses à long terme.
• Témoigner : nous ne restons pas silencieux. Grâce à notre expérience et notre présence sur le terrain, nous interpellons les pouvoirs  avec des faits, des chiffres et des réalités.

Nos projets suivent une série de valeurs communes à toute notre organisation : Justice sociale, Empowerment, Indépendance, Engagement, Equilibre.

CONTEXTE

En septembre 2017, devant le manque de réponse du gouvernement, Médecins du Monde s'est associé à six autres organisations pour organiser l'aide aux migrant·e·s à Bruxelles.

Le Hub humanitaire est un consortium d’ONG actuellement piloté par Médecins du Monde, Médecins Sans Frontières, la Croix-Rouge de Belgique, la Plateforme Citoyenne de Soutien aux Réfugiés et SOS Jeunes. Le projet a vu le jour en septembre 2017 pour répondre aux besoins croissants des personnes migrantes particulièrement vulnérables. Chaque organisation poursuit des objectifs complémentaires afin de répondre aux besoins des personnes en situation d’errance présentes à Bruxelles en leur offrant un accès à des services multidisciplinaires de première nécessité, un accompagnement et une orientation adaptés.

Femmes, hommes et enfants réfugié.e.s dans notre pays, peuvent y avoir accès à des soins médicaux et à une aide psychologique, mais aussi à un appui administratif, social et juridique. De la nourriture et des vêtements sont également distribués. Ils et elles peuvent profiter du wifi et de téléphones pour maintenir des contacts avec leurs familles et leurs proches.
