So you’d like to work as a Humanitarian Medic for MSF? Live from Gaza

MSF medic and WEM faculty Dr Erin Kilborn joins us from Gaza to about the realities of working as an MSF doctor, how to follow in her footsteps and what drives her to follow a career pathway in humanitarian medicine.

Erin is a regular speaker at the annual World Extreme Medicine Conference and also our WEM’s Expedition and Wilderness Medicine courses.

You will find quite a resource of learning resources available on the WEM Academy site.  Access requires the creation of an account but most assets are free to access.

Listen to Erin’s TEDx Talk

Dictionaries define a humanitarian as someone who works to better humanity. In this talk, Erin challenges this mainstream definition and argues that it is much more than that. Through her own journey, she shares a few key points that can either make or break one’s experience as a humanitarian.
