MSF Academy for Healthcare

Investing in learning for frontline healthcare workers

The MSF Academy for Healthcare helps healthcare workers improve their skills and competencies, aiming for a long-term impact on the quality of care provided to patients in the countries where MSF operates. It develops and delivers practical, workplace-based training for medical and paramedical staff in the health facilities MSF supports.

Our purpose

The countries where MSF operates are affected by conflict and humanitarian crises. As a result, they also suffer from severe shortages of qualified health professionals. With the MSF Academy for Healthcare, MSF aims to contribute to long-lasting improvements to the quality of care available in the most hard-hit countries, and to progressively diminish the footprint of international presence.

Our approach

The main novelty brought through the MSF Academy for Healthcare is to have created comprehensive programmes to accompany the development of nursing, midwifery and clinical health workers, as well as coordinators of medical strategies, while on the job. The MSF Academy develops and implements competency-based curriculums that are tailor-made to MSF’s needs, using a learning cycle based on theoretical knowledge and workplace practice, accompanied by individual clinical mentoring.
