Doctor's without borders

I also really want to do this. I have looked into it a little bit and I know they look for surgical experience. I will be interested to see if anyone has any good info. DWB is a fantastic program, and I am hoping to get to do it or something like it next summer.

Have you checked out their website? (google it) It is really interesting and gives some first-hand accounts of nurses' experiences.

getting international medical experience is important also. i'm going on a volunteer medical trip 2x year, in between semesters while i'm in school because MSF is my ultimate goal... a little harder if you are already working, i know. i also volunteer within my local public health community. anything you can do to show that you are passionate about working with the underserved population will make you more competitive

sorry, i don't have first hand experience yet, but i've been basically stalking this organization for a 1.5 years... lol

the books that they publish are a great source of info also
