MSF is unable to accommodate students or interns in their field programmes as many of the places where MSF works are unstable and unsuitable.
However, MSF strongly encourages individuals with the appropriate skills to work for us and we are happy to provide feedback on how you may go about developing the neccessary skills to work in the field.

If you are a medical student and would like more information about working with MSF in the future click here.
