International Medical Corps Recruiter to Meet with Students and Faculty on Campus

International Medical Corps is a global, humanitarian, nonprofit organization dedicated to saving lives and relieving suffering through health care training and relief and development programs.

Established in 1984 by volunteer doctors and nurses, IMC is a private, voluntary, nonpolitical, nonsectarian organization. Its mission is to improve the quality of life through health interventions and related activities that build local capacity in underserved communities worldwide. By offering training and health care to local populations and medical assistance to people at highest risk, and with the flexibility to respond rapidly to emergency situations, IMC rehabilitates devastated health care systems and helps bring them back to self-reliance.

Whether it’s fighting a cholera outbreak in Somalia, providing mental health services to conflict-affected regions, or assisting displaced people, IMC is continuously at the frontlines in global health.  IMC has been praised for its high efficiency and fiscal responsibility by the American Institute of Philanthropy and Forbes.

IMC employs a broad variety of professionals – many of whom are clinical and public health professionals. Most paid positions with IMC require at least a six-month commitment and include salary, shared-communal housing, transportation to and from the field site, in-service consultation (general R&R), Health Insurance, and Medical Evacuation Insurance.

Interested candidates can consult available positions and apply online.  IMC recruiters search the database and find candidates with specific skill sets when new positions become available.

The corporate recruiter, John Niro, will be on campus on Tuesday, Feb 27 to meet with faculty to strengthen ties with Tulane.  He will also address students at noon in room 1208. All are welcome to attend!

Jennifer Hixon graduated in 2006 with an MPH from the Department of Community Health Sciences with a concentration in Health Education/Health Promotion.  She completed her Capstone at the Tulane Xavier National Center of Excellence in Women’s Health (TUXCOE) with a focus on Women’s Health Policy where she had the opportunity to learn and practice skills in annual report and grant writing.

Dr. Magnus, CHS professor and Director of TUXCOE was so impressed with Jenny’s dedication during her Capstone, that she offered her the position of Program Manager for the Maternal and Child Public Health Leadership Training (MCPHLT) Program.  Jenny’s work focuses on leadership development and skill-building opportunities for students and mid-career professionals in the MCH field. 

Be on the lookout for the exciting workshops that Jenny organizes, many of which have led students to wonderful Capstone opportunities.  Jenny, also, is continually looking for student workers with fresh ideas to contribute to current projects. 

For more information about opportunities with the MCPHLT program, you can e-mail Jenny at jhixon@tulane.edu.
