The Global Action in Nursing (GAIN) project is a 12-month opportunity based in Neno district, Malawi. The purpose of the mentorship is to work closely with Malawian nurse colleagues to improve outcomes in maternal child health. The GAIN nurse mentor provides support, clinical care, administrative guidance, and educational opportunities to Malawian nurses who provide obstetrical and newborn care. In addition, the GAIN mentor will collect and provide data to the GAIN evaluation officer based at UCSF and act as liaison to the UCSF and local Partners in Health (PIH) teams. The GAIN mentor should be prepared to deliver effective midwifery care in low resource settings and have a deep commitment to equity and justice.
 
GAIN nurse mentors will spend one year in Malawi at PIH sites in Neno District. GAIN nurse mentors will provide mentorship to nurse colleagues and other health care professionals as well as support clinical care systems aimed at improving maternal/child health. Ongoing guidance will be provided to GAIN midwifery mentors by UCSF School of Nursing faculty.
