How to Apply
DOCUMENT TO COMPLETE:
Due to the nature of MSF’s
maternity projects, it is essential to have more information about your
specific technical competences in obstetrics. It is a checklist, intended for
Gynecologists. It must be completed according to your current level of practice.
This information will be
useful for a better allocation of staff to the positions and to identify
specific training needs. The lack of skills will not prevent you from being
assigned a mission, so please be honest in your self-assessment.
