- Qualification as a registered midwife
- At least two years of professional experience as a midwife
- Recent clinical experience (at least six months within the last 24 months)

As an MSF midwife, your training skills will be crucial because you may be assigned to help traditional birth attendants develop new skills. At the same time, you will need to learn from the women you treat to understand cross-cultural issues surrounding childbirth.
