General medical practitioners
The main tasks of general medical practitioners are, on one hand, emergency medicine in crisis locations and on the other hand, basic health care in long-term projects - often in refugee camps or in small local health stations. MSF increasingly carries out vertical programs in order to fight against so-called "neglected diseases" like tuberculosis, HIV/AIDS, sleeping sickness, and malaria. The central point of all missions is the education and supervision of local personnel. Along with medical activity, data collection and contact with local authorities are also very important.
Special Requirements:- Completed medical training and two years of professional experience
- Training in tropical medicine or other additional knowledge (Public Health, Epidemiology, Nutrition, Tuberculosis, HIV/AIDS etc.)
- At least 9 months of availability for a mission
