with MSF is that they really do not require too much, just a desire to go and do and to be flexible as things can get kind of stressful in ways that are hard to imagine ahead of time. 60% or so of the projects are in Africa, so spending some time in Africa is helpful. In my case I had been to Africa about 4 times before with other organizations, so I had a track record, but a lot of people I worked with had never been overseas ever. MSF is pretty laid back, so as long as you have some nice recommendations, and are not psychotic, they will find a place for you.
