I'm attending a recruitment information session next week. As a doctor, I was meant to doctor and not haggle with insurance companies. The politics of health care in the US makes me sick.

Wow, these guys really deserve their Nobel peace prize.

Their website says that you need to have a least a few years of experience in the work field first.

Hello to you all :)

I have this question about applying in MSF...

I checked and there is no office in my country . So it is not very clear to me how this hole thing works. I am still a med student and want to volunteer if they`d take me. I was wondering if MSF only needs doctors , or just any type of volunteers.

I`d be very thankful, if someone with experience spares a few minutes of his time to explain to me, because I really can`t get information anywhere else.

Thank you in advance! :)

I agree. Good luck, I hope to do the same.

As a psychologist in spe, I'm hoping to join MSF soon. Mental health care is still very underestimated; what's the point of healing the body when the mind remains damaged?

I commend the Doctors Without Borders organization for all the humanitarian aid and medical relief they provide around the world.
