Responsibilities

As an obstetrician/gynecologist (OBGYN) working with Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), your clinical skills and resourcefulness will be put to the test. You will work to diagnose and treat medical conditions, often without the resources you may be accustomed to having. You can expect to perform both emergency and planned ob-gyn surgeries, manage obstetric complications (such as instrumental deliveries), manage post-operative follow-up, and train and support both surgical and midwifery staff. You will also need to learn cross-cultural particularities surrounding childbirth. Other MSF team members, both locally and internationally hired colleagues, will provide technical support, including extensive guidelines and protocols.
