Training objectives are to enhance the knowledge and skills of in-country and invited clinicians and healthcare professionals. Duties include education through hands-on teaching and lectures, including post-training evaluation, assessment of training efficacy, and remote follow-up and support.

We are seeking a volunteer General Surgeon to serve as a visiting member of the Surgical Department and run the Surgical Training Project at Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital/College of Medicine in Blantyre, Malawi. The volunteer will primarily provide hands-on surgical training and some lectures according to a general surgical curriculum. A three month commitment is required, but longer commitments are preferable.

Physicians for Peace (PFP) is seeking burn care experts on an ongoing basis, to volunteer as guest speakers to share their experience and expertise in the areas of initial burn care, acute and reconstructive surgery, nurse education, rehabilitative therapy, and psycho-social support, among others.  

This teaching opportunity enables the General Surgery Lecturer to “Zoom in” to regularly scheduled general surgery seminars on pre-determined topics to complement the local curriculum and engage with junior and senior faculty and trainees.  This is a combination of teaching, discussion and mentoring in which the General Surgery Lecturer and trainees can share ideas and questions in real-time, located anywhere in the world.
