Médecins Sans
Frontières (MSF) is an international, independent, medical humanitarian organization
that delivers emergency aid to people affected by armed conflict, epidemics,
healthcare exclusion and natural disasters. MSF offers assistance to people
based only on need and irrespective of race, religion, gender or political
affiliation.
In the context of a project opening, we are looking
for a DIAGNOSTIC IMAGING ADVISOR – TACTIC PROJECT (TRAINING) Mobile Implementing Officer position 3 to 12 months – part time or full time.
Mission
The TACTiC (Test, Avoid, Cure Tuberculosis in
Children) project is a multi-country initiative in MSF to accelerate the
implementation of the new WHO recommendations for TB in children. The WHO recommendations give a more specific
and concrete role of chest X-ray (CXR) in the diagnosis and management of TB in
children, including scoring for TB-related CXR findings in new treatment
decision algorithms and using specific CXR findings as eligibility criteria for
shorter 4-month treatment regimens.
As part of TACTiC, CXR interpretation training for TB in children
is being provided for MSF sites, currently organized by the Diagnostic Imaging
Advisor-Radiologist (IO). As this
initiative is scaling up within target countries and expanding to other
countries, the need for X-ray interpretation training is also increasing. This
position has been created to meet the increasing demands for radiology support
in MSF and help achieve the overall goals of the TACTiC project.
The diagnostic imaging
advisor for TACTiC (Training) will work hierarchically under the TACTiC Project
Leader and functionally under the intersectional Diagnostic Imaging
Advisor-Radiologist (IO). While in the
field s/he is accountable to the Medical Coordinator.

remote-based training in X-ray interpretation, including a Training of Trainers
(ToT) model, as part of TACTiC

objective that they can go back to their countries and train their own MSF
teams with some online support

country with the objective that they can go back to their projects in the
country and train MSF teams with some online support
o Provider training in-country: Intersectional (at capital level) training
aimed at a larger group of providers and can include some facilitation from
previously trained ToT participants if appropriate. Could also include MoH
participants if requested. Can be broader than TB.
o Provider trainer in project: Provider training aimed at a specific
project and can include MSF and MoH staff. Can be broader than TB.
Provide support before
trainings, including preparation and admin support

creation of educational material (e.g. explore new tools for delivery of remote
based training or as complement to remote or project-based training)

practice and quality of care
