Msr International

Missions de Solidarité Responsable International (MSR International) is a Non-Profit Volunteer Organization established in February 2009 in Montreal, QC, Canada, currently applying to obtain the status of charity organization. We setup career-building sustainable development and humanitarian missions in developing countries during the summer. MSR International has developed a unique type of internship for pre-medical and medical students allowing them to follow physicians during their daily routine and to observe surgeries. Other missions allow teams of volunteers from various fields of studies such as marketing & communications, web-design, education, international development, fine arts, to contribute to the development of local organization while they can make full use of their respective skills. Our vision is to contribute to the creation of a new generation of responsible doctors in medicine, as well as other professional fields, that will have gained an intimate understanding of the developing world since their early years at university. They will have had the opportunity to work in solid teams finding innovative alternatives to sustainable development while strengthening their passion for the discipline they study. Our work has been supported by American physicians and physician-assistants from Seattle Washington, USA, in particular from Dr. Phoumy Bounkeua (PA). We have also received guidance from Dr. Claudine Maari, from Médecins Sans Frontieres. We have the honor of being under the guidance of Paul Martin’s Office in Montreal, QC. MSR International is currently raising funds for the summer missions. Volunteers now pay all travel expenses on their own, and we are seeking to obtain financial support in order to bring medical equipment and accommodate our teams on the ground.
