Doctors Without Borders is coming to UMD as a student chapter and we are recruiting for members!
Doctors Without Borders has grown into a medical movement of more than 30,000 doctors, nurses, logisticians, and administrators. They treat patients in some of the most remote and dangerous places in the world. In more than 70 countries, they’re saving lives threatened by violence, disease, malnutrition, exclusion from health care, and catastrophic events.
Their commitment is to provide the best care possible to every patient and their independence and neutrality allow them to go where many other organizations can’t or won’t.
Global health initiatives require a collective effort from people in a variety of disciplines. Doctors Without Borders goes far beyond the medical personnel. The vast majority of people who work for Doctors Without Borders are not medical-related at all. There are many jobs related to simply managing the organization, marketing, and being a cultural liaison for local people that the doctors interact with. Our chapter mirrors this diversity.
At UMD, our student chapter is passionate about becoming a part of a vital movement — a mission that seeks to provide urgent medical care to people who need it the most. DWB/MSF UMD has 2 fundamental goals: support the work of DWB/MSF through advocacy and awareness focused events, and practice what we preach through volunteering in our community.
Join us and help Doctors without Borders by sharing their work, their challenges, their stories, and their fierce commitment!
