Work in the FieldPhysiciansAs a doctor working for MSF, you may be responding to an outbreak of cholera or meningitis, treating victims in the aftermath of an armed conflict, or even setting up a treatment program for HIV/AIDS or malaria. The only certainty with an MSF mission is that your clinical skills and resourcefulness will be put to the test in order to deliver medical care to populations in countries and regions where the health care infrastructure may have completely fallen apart. As an MSF doctor, you will not be facing this adversity alone, as other MSF team members, both international and national staff, will provide technical back-up, including extensive guidelines and protocols. MSF is particularly seeking the following:
