Despite major setbacks to its health infrastructure and health workforce capacity, Liberia began its first post-graduate training program for physicians in 2013. Specialty training in Internal Medicine, Pediatrics, General Surgery and Obstetrics and Gynecology were the four inaugural Residency programs that recruited graduates from the country's only medical school, A.M. Dogliotti College of Medicine. The Obstetrics and Gynecology residency program was designed to combat the rising maternal mortality and strengthen health systems to improve maternal care. The program adapted in the face of challenges posed by limited financial support, lack of specialist-faculty and general physician shortages and the Ebola virus outbreak. The manuscript discusses the challenges and successes of the program and demonstrates how the shortage of teaching faculty was addressed by developing a collaboration between local government and educational communities, a United States (US) academic institution and volunteers from the Global Health Service Partnership.
尽管利比里亚的卫生基础设施和卫生人力能力遭受了重大挫折，但它还是在 2013 年开始了首个医师研究生培训计划。内科、儿科、普通外科和妇产科这四个专业培训是最初的四个住院医师培训计划，招收了来自该国唯一医学院——A.M.多利奥蒂学院的毕业生。妇产科住院医师培训计划旨在应对不断上升的孕产妇死亡率，并加强卫生系统以改善孕产妇护理。该计划适应了有限的财政支持、缺乏专家教师以及普通医生短缺和埃博拉病毒爆发带来的挑战。本文档讨论了该计划的挑战和成功，并展示了如何通过地方政府和教育界、美国学术机构以及全球卫生服务伙伴关系的志愿者之间的合作来解决教学师资短缺的问题。
