Advancing Excellence in
Nursing Education & Clinical Practice
Elevating Ethiopian Nursing Education And Service Standards Through Advanced And Internationally Aligned Competency Development.
Program Overview
Federal Ministry of Health is embarking a flagship initiative to bridge critical competency gaps among the nursing workforce and advance the state of nursing service provision, and paving the way for quaternary care, medical tourism and internationalization of the nursing profession.
This five-month upskilling and reskilling program involves enrollment of graduate nurses (BSc.) who are currently practicing in the public tertiary care facilities (specialized hospitals), including Federal Army and Police hospitals, and recent graduates (2021-2025) who have not yet been employed in the public sector. Upon successful completion, this certificate program offers opportunities for career development and employment across the board.
Eligible candidates will be entitled to receive their monthly salary (if already employed in the public hospitals) or reasonable amount of stipend to cover meal and logistics expenses during the training period.
This initiative employs a merit based, competitive and robust assessment procedure and admission process. The specific registration and selection criteria, and application process are described below.
