Continuing Medical Education Volunteer
Jhpiego is sponsoring an Encore Volunteer to work with the Medical Association of Tanzania (MAT) for a term of 4 months. MAT has expressed a particular interest in the development of a framework of a Continuing Medical Education system in Tanzania. Currently, once medical doctors are licensed there is no need for continuing education in order to retain their status. MAT would like to spearhead the process of instituting an appropriate system to ensure the continuing professional development of medical staff in Tanzania. This activity would require close coordination with the Medical Council of Tanzania as well as interaction with specialty associations (i.e., Association of Gynecologists and Obstetricians, Surgical Association, etc.). In addition, MAT would require some organizational strengthening as the current leadership works with the association on a voluntary basis. Airfare, emergency medical evacuation insurance, room/board and local transportation for the assignment will be provided. Volunteers are asked to cover the cost of their passport, visa and vaccinations, and maintain their own health insurance. Any personal travel is at the volunteer's expense. Submit CV and cover letter, to volunteer@encoreservicecorps.org. Please write MAT and your name in the subject line. To be considered for an Encore Service Volunteer assignment, you must create or update your profile in MAT database. |
