The Application Process

Work with us at the MSF Canada offices

Embark on a journey of incredible personal and professional growth. Join the thousands of Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) medical and support professionals helping people in crisis around the globe. MSF currently provides medical assistance in more than 60 countries, in emergency situations caused by armed conflict, epidemics and disasters. Due to the changing nature of humanitarian challenges, MSF also works increasingly with people living in situations of chronic poverty and ongoing exclusion from basic medical care. These medium- and longer-term projects now comprise the majority of MSF missions.

Helping others help themselves

In addition to direct medical intervention, MSF field workers play an important role in building critical medical and support skills of local staff, ideally so MSF support is no longer needed.

"It’s something I’ve wanted to do since I was a teenager. I would read about aid workers in the newspaper, and I would think: 'This is a way for a person to take action in the world that is immediate, effective and relevant.' "

“Why come to Africa to work during your retirement? No, this isn’t just out of generosity. This is a need to give a meaning to your life. This is a need to achieve something for others."

“It’s totally different medicine in totally different working conditions. It’s a real eye-opener.”

“I'm quite sure that we are not saving the world. However, every day that I am on the ground, doing what I can, I feel that we are sending a message to the people here: What you are going through is not acceptable. Perhaps even more simply put the message is: You are not alone.”
