The Background

At present, there are two universities in Papua New Guinea which offer medical studies programs, in Port Moresby and Madang. There is a severe lack of medical practitioners and teachers.

For this reason, Bread for the World is searching for medical practitioners with commitment and expertise, especially in the improvement of medical care as well as for the consolidation of study programs. The prospective employer, the Divine Word University (DWU), has been established in Papua New Guinea since 1980. The medical facilities are located in Madang, Alexishafen and Modilon. 

Duties and Responsibilities

The primary responsibilities include supporting the pedagogic and scientific departments of the DWU and thus furthering its development. Furthermore, an ongoing task will be to facilitate relations between the medical institutions in Modilon and Alexishafen and to provide support to medical practicals.

Additional tasks may include:

  • Instructing the 3rd and 4th-year medical students
  • Analyzing and contributing to the further development of tutorials
  • Assisting and advising students, e. g. during research projects
  • Supporting curriculum development
  • Coaching and training of medical staff
  • Overseeing the medical care of patients
  • Providing medical care including surgery

  • A medical degree is required
  • Relevant work experience
  • A strong command of written and spoken English
  • Motivation to learn the local language

The citizenship of a European Union Member State or Switzerland is required.
