**Clinical Mentoring Mobile Implementation Officer (M/F/x) - MSF Academy for Healthcare - MSF BELGIUM**:
**CONTEXT**:
The MSF Academy for Healthcare is an intersectional initiative that has been created to strengthen the competencies of medical and paramedical staff, with the aim to increase the quality of healthcare and improving patients outcomes across our projects. The Academy has a growing portfolio of projects addressing specific learning objectives for different categories of healthcare professions in MSF including nurses and midwives. All these projects are chosen in line with overall MSF operational and medical priorities.

Nurses and midwifes in MSF represent around half of the health care workforce, they have an essential role in providing person-centered care and nursing care is a key transversal component of care. Within hospitals, MSF has a wide range and volume of activities often with increasing technical and organizational complexity. MSF wants to ensure adequate, sustained, effective, and quality of care.

A significant focus lies on locally hired staff, particularly in countries with critical human resources for health (HRH) shortages but also other specialized profiles. The MSF Academy key focus areas comprise:

- **Strengthening frontline care**: implementing programs, such as the **Nursing, Midwifery or Outpatient Care** initiative, which enhances technical but also clinical decision-making skills, and patient management through tailored curricula and intensive clinical mentorship. Academy project teams are currently present in Central Africa Republic, South Sudan, Mali, Sierra Leone, Nigeria, Yemen, Burkina Faso, Tanzania and soon in Democratic Republic of Congo. We hope to install a much stronger culture of learning within MSF operations. Beyond MSF projects, the Academy also connects to health authorities for joint recognition of its learning programmes at mínima, and punctual support to governmental programmes
- **Developing Specialized Expertise**: offering specialized training programs, including Post-Graduate Diplomas in collaborations with renowned universities provide advanced education in **Infectious Diseases** (Stellenbosch University - South Africa) or in **Medical Humanitarian Leadership** (Wits University - South Africa) ; as well as two online courses in **Antimicrobial Stewardship** and in **Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) Supervision and Management** (AMR Learning Initiative in collaboration with British Society for Antimicrobial Chemotherapy)

- **Competency-Based Learning**: Emphasizing practical skills and on-the-job training with strong mentorship.
- **Accreditation and Recognition**: Seeking formal accreditation for training programs either through recognition by national health & education authorities, either through partnership with internationally recognized universities or institution.
