I'm aware that MSF can afford to be highly selective from a competitive pool of experienced candidates. I've never worked for a hospital that includes nurses in volunteer trips and with my lack of volunteer experience I'm having difficulty finding short assignments abroad that aren't voluntourism outfits. Any suggestions?

Hi Jaime, thanks for the AMA! I'm a registered nurse in the US interested in volunteering with MSF. I have so many questions but I'm going to try to limit it to just 2.

1. Prior to MSF, how much experience did you have working in resource poor or developing countries? Can you make any recommendations for nurses like me seeking to gain such experience?

2. Has working for MSF affected how you practice as a nurse in Canada? If you haven't yet returned to practicing in Canada, do you anticipate changes in your approach to nursing?

Thanks for the reply. Good luck in your endeavors!
