COUNTRY REPRESENTATIVE
TANZANIA The International Training and Education Center for Health is seeking a Country Representative in Tanzania. The International Training and Education Center for Health (I-TECH) is a global network that works with local partners to develop skilled health care workers and strong national health systems in resource-limited countries. I-TECH promotes local ownership to sustain effective health systems. I-TECH envisions a world in which all people have access to high quality, compassionate, and equitable health care. I-TECH is a global health program of the University of Washington (UW) Department of Global Health in Seattle, in partnership with the University of California - San Francisco.

I-TECH, as a center within the UW Department of Global Health (DGH), acts as the administrative home for numerous sponsored projects and has received delegated authority from the department to maintain policies and procedures that protect the interests of its faculty/ Principal Investigators (PIs) and the University. A key objective for I-TECH is to assure that PIs working through the I-TECH network and country programs have the authority and support they need to assure that their work is carried out as they direct, in a timely manner and compliant with UW and sponsor policies.
