ANAESTHESIOLOGIST
MSF anaesthetists are
teachers and trainers, and are there to help people manage pain in sometimes
unbearable circumstances.
The role of an MSF
anaesthetist is incredibly varied: you might find yourself training local staff
in the middle of a refugee camp hospital or managing anaesthesia with very
basic resources for complex obstetric surgeries – all in the course of a
day.
Our anaesthetists often work across various departments; supporting
surgery, maternity and going wherever else they are needed.
As an anaesthetist you would be responsible for ordering and managing
materials to manage the anaesthesia needs of an entire hospital, mentoring and
support for local staff learning basic anaesthesia, planning and implementing
anaesthesia management training workshops. You will also support pain
management for all departments in the hospital/health centre.
Requirements
- Proven experience in anaesthetics – experience of
paediatric and obstetric anaesthesia is particularly useful
- Full registration (doctors without this will need to
provide a transcript of training, from a recognised training faculty and
proof of original registration in the country they are registered
in)
- Ability to work with limited resources
- Availability for a minimum period of six weeks to a
maximum of six months
- Minimum of three months travel or work experience in
developing countries
- Ability to work in unstable environments
- Adaptable and able to work in a team
- Flexible and able to manage stress
- Able to provide training and supervision to
others
- Fluency in English is essential
Qualifications
- You will find it helpful to have done other medical
jobs – time spent in casualty and paediatrics departments will be
especially relevant
- Availability at short notice
- French or Arabic skills, which may be tested during
the recruitment process
