About MSF-USA Doctors Without Borders

Doctors Without Borders / Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) is an international humanitarian organization providing medical care to people affected by conflict, epidemics, disasters, or exclusion from health care in over 70 countries.

We were formed in France in 1971 as an association by doctors and journalists to go to emergencies and treat patients with dignity while bearing witness independently of geopolitical boundaries.

MSF is now a global movement of more than 25 MSF organizations working in over 70 countries. We cooperate as an international, independent, medical humanitarian association that offers medical assistance to populations in distress, victims of natural or manmade disasters, and civilian victims of armed conflict without discrimination and irrespective of race, religion, age, gender / sex, national or ethnic origin, color, disability, sexual orientation, genetic information, or political affiliation and aids the population in distress and intervene worldwide.

MSF staff also "bear witness" by speaking out about our work and what is experienced on the ground to draw the world's attention to crises and stand in solidarity with our patients and colleagues experiencing these emergencies firsthand.

We welcome candidates with various backgrounds and experiences to join us in working toward MSF's social mission.
