MSF is known to have an acceptance rate on the level of Ivy-League colleges so I have two questions.

1) Why do you deny so many individuals?

2) How do you think someone who wants to get involved could get experience working in developing countries before applying? Are there any organizations you find particularly good at preparing someone for a mission?

Thanks!

Recently, 5 MSF staffers were kidnapped in Syria. Many applicants are reluctant to work in these areas for good reason. Do you hold it against an applicant for not wanting to work in these dangerous areas? Also, related to this:

1) How does MSF provide security for expats in the field?

2) How does MSF respond to a crisis like this?
