Work overseas
Consider a humanitarian career with MSF. Join our medical and non-medical teams overseas, where the needs are greatest.
Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) relies on a network of healthcare and other professionals outside the healthcare realm. These professionals assist people facing crises by carrying out our humanitarian activities in conflict zones, epidemics, natural disasters, and other emergencies. Each year more than 60,000 locally hired staff are joined by more than 6,000 international staff to provide medical care in over 450 humanitarian projects around the world. Join us to find out what it’s like to have a career working as a humanitarian delivering critical medical assistance where it’s needed most.
At MSF, we are looking for skilled medical and non-medical professionals to help deliver emergency humanitarian assistance. We recruit from Canada and elsewhere to support our operations around the world. MSF is recruiting staff for projects located in countries including Democratic Republic of Congo, Haiti, and Yemen. We are looking for professionals who not only align with our values and mission but who will also help shape the future of the MSF movement by speaking out about what we see, inspire action and connect people. Being part of MSF’s overseas team is much more than simply like being in a “working abroad program.”
