h3. Job Overview: The women who seek services at our clinic come almost entirely from our own community: Kamenge. Kamenge is one of the poorest communities in the Bujumbura-metropolitan area and still war-torn from Burundi’s 13-year “crisis” (the word Burundians use to describe the 13-year civil war following the death of President Melchoir Ndadaye). These two intersecting factors—poverty and violence—have resulted in there being almost no quality public health data on this community. Yet having a centralized, up-to-date database containing information on individual patients, as well as the patient population and community as a whole, is critical to providing quality healthcare services. We are seeking a dedicated and dynamic Global Health Corps Fellows Team to work with us on developing our monitoring and evaluation process. We are looking for two individuals whose strengths are complimentary. One person should have a high level of IT proficiency, particularly around database programming and management. A second person should have strong research and statistical analysis skills, as well as the verbal and writing skills to communicate this information to the broader community. Together, the GHC Fellows Team will work with FWA staff to develop an electronic medical records database which will allow us to monitor our individual patients and generate reports based on the patient population as a whole.

Patient data analysis, reporting and advocacy * Analyzing patient population and community data and formatting it into reports for agencies and funders. * Liaising with the Ministry of HIV and Health, national HIV/AIDS coalitions, le Conseil National de Lutte contre le SIDA (CNLS), and other organizations working on collecting national and international HIV/AIDS data and research. h3. Desired Experience and Skills: * Demonstrated ability to work in a team and independently; strong interpersonal skills * A degree and /or demonstrated skills in a related field such as public health, international studies, human rights, women’s studies, or computer science, statistics, database management, network administration, general IT * Strong interest in global public health, East Africa, peace-building, women’s studies, and/or community-based development. Prior exposure to / experience in resource poor setting a plus. * Willingness and desire to work in a resource-poor grassroots setting; this requires patience, flexibility, creativity, and a strong desire to engage with the community around you. It also requires the willingness to help out in areas beyond your specific responsibilities. * Strong computer skills; proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Excel, Access, etc) a must; data management and computer programming skills, and ideally web design ability, highly desired in at least one fellow * Strong skills in research and data analysis, including sufficient knowledge of statistics to help develop surveys and analyze patient population data and write reports for government agencies and funders * Willingness and ability to teach staff and community health workers how to use the management system designed, noting that this may require teaching even the most basic computer skills * Excellent communication skills (verbal, written, listening, presentation, and facilitation), as well as strong interpersonal skills * Openness to working with Quakers and other religious organizations; while FWA is not directly affiliated to the Quaker church in Burundi, our founders are Quaker and we maintain a close working relationship with many Quaker and other religious organizations * Language skills: English proficiency and ability and comfort working in French (speaking, reading, writing), especially in inter-agency or government settings h3.

h3. Job Overview: Health literacy is a well-documented barrier to accessing health care in clinical and public health contexts. Nearly 9 of 10 Americans – almost all of us – do not have the health literacy skills to proficiently interact with the health care system. Over one third (36%) of Americans are at the lowest two levels of health literacy as measured by the 2003 National Assessment of Health Literacy. The patient population served by The University Hospital is at high risk for having inadequate literacy skills to navigate a complex health system. Low health literacy is linked with worse overall health, less use of screening and preventive services, poor disease management, and longer hospitalizations. The Global Health Corps Health Literacy Liaison Team will work within The University Hospital and Ambulatory Care Center of UMDNJ to break down barriers that prevent patients from fully accessing and understanding their care. Fellows will be responsible for creating appropriate interventions to promote health literacy skills for patients. In addition, the team will be responsible for working with health care providers including physicians, nurses and others to infuse health literacy awareness into the culture of the organization. The GHC Fellows provide support and direction to the UH Health Literacy Work Group which coordinates and drives the organization’s processes focused on Health Literacy. The Year 2 GHC Fellows will build upon the work plan established by Year 1 Fellows in the “Blueprint to improve health literacy at UH” and its associated report “Observations and Recommendations to Create a Positive Health Literacy Environment at The University Hospital – November 2009.” Fellows will continue implementation of Year 1 projects which include a patient activation campaign, improving navigation aids, implementing staff trainings, and creating appropriate printed materials. h3. Responsibilities: Continue the work of the Year 1 Fellows by accomplishing the following: * Take a lead role in the implementation of projects established by the Health Literacy Working Group, a committee of vested stakeholders from across the campus with strong interest and commitment to health literacy initiatives. * Conduct health literacy training sessions and workshops with new and existing employees at University Hospital and the Ambulatory Care Center to introduce and reinforce health literacy skills when working with patient populations. * Work with members of the University Hospital Patient Education Committee as a resource on health literacy and the use of appropriate patient handouts and forms. * Develop effective interventions for low literacy clients to improve their use of health care services, improve health outcomes, affect the cost of health care and improve health care service use among difference racial, ethnic, cultural and age groups. * Develop and/or identify appropriate measurement tools and surveys to assess the impact of interventions on patients; implement the survey instrument across the population served, assess and evaluate results to identify trends and use results as a basis for continued/new interventions. * Develop hospital-wide marketing campaigns in support of health literacy projects. * Identify major health concerns occurring frequently in the populations and identify appropriate materials for use in educational programs and in one-to-one instruction. * Identify or create appropriate material to provide to clients in engaging formats (print handouts, short video clips, consumer health Web sites) to encourage understanding and compliance with prescriptions and other prescribed interventions. * Create implementation plans for Year 2 projects building upon work done in Year 1 to improve verbal communication among providers and patients with emphasis on improving services for those with limited English proficiency. * Liaison with community leaders to create Health Literacy outreach opportunities within Newark. h3. Desired Experience and Skills: * Academic background and/or experience in health care, health care policy or education * Familiarity with issues surrounding health literacy * Familiarity with monitoring and evaluation of health education interventions * Strong interest in healthcare issues * Strong interpersonal and communication skills: verbal, written, listening, presentations and facilitation * Team-oriented but also self-directed and self-sufficient * Strong research skills including Internet research and familiarity with academic journals * Language skills: English proficiency – ability to speak Spanish a plus h3.
