  6. Doctors Without Borders Interview

    Hello, Thank you for your response. Were you accepted? Did you ever work for MSF? I think I have a pretty good handle on cultural sensitivity as I've lived and worked among several different cultures....

    planet612 - for example the midwifery students take a field trip to Albany to speak with legislators there about midwifery practice in the state, etc. Doggie Dad - if you're going to Columbia this is...
  10. Columbia University ETP 2008

    Fiona - This is usually true but when I graduated (May 08) I can say that I honestly only know about one person who was hired directly to her integration site. Of course, I only know a limited number...

  18. Columbia University ETP 2008

    Poppete, This sounds really frustrating and I'm sorry you couldn't find a position in the city. However, I want to caution potential applications to not take one story as the experience everyone is...
