The photos above were taken at the MSF PSP (populations in precarious situations) residential training course in February this year in Belgium co-ordinated by Epicentre.
This is an excellent course with a very good nutrition component, run for MS technical field staff. The course has been running for 16 years and is regularly updated every year taking into account most recent emergency public health priorities encountered in the field. Training material is based on actual case studies.
The aim of the course is to equip trainees with the knowledge and skills to use a standardised set of public health tools (indicators) to run MSF interventions in the field during initial assessments, on-going programmes. The course content includes: epidemiology, nutrition, vaccination, watsan, AIDS, natural disasters, evaluation of on-going programmes, survey methodology.
Seventy to eighty personnel are trained per year and members from other organisations are welcome to attend the PSP course.
