Put Your Ideals Into Practice: Doctors Without Borders Info Session - Los Angeles

Every day, Doctors Without Borders aid workers from around the world provide assistance to people whose survival is threatened by violence, neglect, or catastrophe – treating those most in need regardless of political, religious, or economic interest. Whether an emergency involves armed conflicts or epidemics, malnutrition or natural disasters, Doctors Without Borders is committed to bringing quality medical care to people caught in crisis.

On Wednesday, October 23, medical and non-medical professionals are invited to join us for an evening presentation to learn more about how you can join Doctors Without Borders’ pool of dedicated aid workers.

You'll meet experienced Doctors Without Borders aid workers from the Los Angeles area and hear their firsthand stories of "life in the field." An aid worker and Human Resources Officer will discuss requirements and the application process.
