France
Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) is an international, independent, medical humanitarian organization created in 1971 that delivers emergency aid to people affected by armed conflict, epidemics, healthcare exclusion and natural disasters. The MSF movement is built around 5 operational centers, such as OCP (Paris) and OCBA (Barcelona), supported by 24 sections and offices worldwide. The French section is present in around thirty countries.
MSF Field Simulation is looking for a OCP Support Manager of the SIMU Project.
Contexts
MSF ambition to raise people-centered humanitarian assistance to the highest possible standard and yet delivering quality live-saving interventions, remains a challenge in many settings where health systems are fragile and when access and resources are limited.
Since 2017 MSF OCBA piloted MSF Field Simulation on a small scale, through a Transformational Investment Capacity (TIC) project, called Field Simulation Lab which as implemented in two phases.
During the first phase “the main objective was to test the application of simulation in a humanitarian context integrated into field operations. Phase 2 of the incubation TIC was more focus on exploring different strategies to build simulation capacity and conduct an exercise to understand how simulation methodology can be integrated into the MSF ecosystem (e.g. working groups, other initiatives, strategies, departmental priorities…).
Today the MSF Field Simulation TIC will scale up the activities by including 3 main pillars:
In other words, in addition to the theoretical knowledge required by their position, (non-)medical staff need adequate and up-to-date practical experience to confidently carry out the specific tasks entrusted to them in order to ensure the quality of services provided to the population.
This support manager role is therefore a key one in implementing the ambitions of the TIC in OCP and coordinating actions in HQ and field levels. The main objective of OCP during these 2 years project is to learn from MSF Field Simulation OCBA experience and integrate/disseminate the knowledge of the simulation at all levels.
